Usage

There are two commands available right now, start and stop.

Docker

mintnet-commander start accepts two parameters, configuration file and networkFile. Network file mustn't exist, it will be created by mintnet-commander. It uses docker for local deployment and goes through several steps:

• Creates local network
• Create local Data directory with machine directories inside (in your file system)
• Runs setupCommands(localy right now) against each machine directory. So every command that is run localy should have binary file available localy.
• Creates docker containers and mounts local directories to serverRoot in the containers.
• Runs the executable or docker entrypoint command after container is up.
• Generates network file

mintnet-commander stop requires networkFile to stop the newtork, it will:

• stop and remove containers
• delete network
• delete local directories

Network File contains configuration file info and each machine data, that includes Port Mappings and tendermint keys.
