Run Commands

Below is a list of various ways you might want to run the Quickstart container annotated to illustrate what options are enabled. It's also recommended that you should learn and get familiar with the docker command. Start an ephemeral local-only dev/test network:

macOS/Linux

docker run -d \
  -p "8000:8000" \
  --name stellar \
  stellar/quickstart \
  --local

Windows (PowerShell)

docker run -d `
  -p "8000:8000" `
  --name stellar `
  stellar/quickstart `
  --local

Start an ephemeral testnet node in the foreground:

macOS/Linux

docker run --rm -it \
  -p "8000:8000" \
  --name stellar \
  stellar/quickstart \
  --testnet

Windows (PowerShell)

docker run --rm -it `
  -p "8000:8000" `
  --name stellar `
  stellar/quickstart `
  --testnet

Start a new persistent node using the host directory /str:

macOS/Linux

docker run -it --rm \
  -p "8000:8000" \
  -v "/str:/opt/stellar" \
  --name stellar \
  stellar/quickstart \
  --testnet

Windows (PowerShell)

docker run -it --rm `
  -p "8000:8000" `
  -v "/str:/opt/stellar" `
  --name stellar `
  stellar/quickstart `
  --testnet
