Quick Start: Running Axon and Blockscan Locally with Docker

Run Axon and it's explorer (blockscan) locally in Docker containers using docker-compose. Please read the docker-compose file to learn more about the services:

  • Axon node
  • Blockscan as the explorer of Axon
  • Postgres database

Note: This integration is not ready for production use.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

  • Docker v20.10+
  • Docker Compose v2.x.x+

Run the Services

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/axonweb3/axon.git
cd axon/devtools/chain
docker compose up -d

Watch the Logs

To monitor the logs of the running services, use the following command:

docker compose logs -f --tail 1

This command will display the logs of the services, showing the latest log entries.

Access the Chain

Use Etheruem JSON-RPC API to interact with the Axon node. For instance, to get the chain ID of the Axon devnet, execute the following cURL command:

# Get the chain ID of the Axon devnet
curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8000' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
    "id": 42,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_chainId",
    "params": []
}'

# Result: a JSON response containing the chain ID of the Axon devnet.
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"0x41786f6e","id":42}

Access Blockscan

To access the Blockscan explorer, open your browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:4020. This will allow you to explore the Axon blockchain using the Blockscan interface. Blockscan

You Are Good to Go!

Congratulations! You have successfully set up and run Axon and Blockscan locally in Docker containers. You can now start exploring the Axon blockchain and interacting with the services.
