gregoshop/casper-webclient repository overview

casper-webclient is a Docker image containing an Angular-based web client for interacting with the Casper Blockchain. This image allows users to quickly deploy and access the web client without manually setting up the Angular environment.

⚠ WARNING: This application is for testing and development purposes. Do NOT use private keys or perform real transactions on the mainnet unless you fully understand the security risks.

⁠How to Use

⁠Prerequisites

Before using casper-webclient, ensure that:

• You have Docker installed.
• You have Docker Compose installed (optional, for orchestrating multiple services).
• You can pull images from Docker Hub.

⁠Running the Container Standalone

If you want to run the Casper Web Client without additional services, use:

docker run -d --name casper-webclient -p 8080:8080 gregoshop/casper-webclient:latest

• -d: Runs the container in detached mode.
• --name casper-webclient: Assigns a name to the container.
• -p 8080:8080: Maps port 8080 of the container to port 8080 on your local machine.

Once running, access the web client at: http://localhost:8080

The same image is also published as interchouette/casper-webclient:latest.

⁠Using Docker Compose for Full Setup

For complete functionality, use Docker Compose to deploy casper-webclient along with required services:

⁠Services Explained

1. casper-webclient: The Angular web client for interacting with the Casper Blockchain.
2. cors-anywhere: A proxy server to bypass CORS restrictions.
3. ws-proxy: A WebSocket proxy for interacting with blockchain nodes.

⁠Running the Full Setup

To start all services together, run:

docker-compose up -d --build

• up -d: Starts all services in detached mode.
• --build: Ensures images are rebuilt if needed.

Once running, the services can be accessed at:

• Casper Web Client: http://localhost:8080
• CORS Proxy: http://localhost:11100
• WebSocket Proxy: http://localhost:4300

⁠Stopping the Services

To stop all running services:

docker-compose down
