hdegroote/simple-seeder repository overview

⁠Instrumented Simple Seeder

It's easiest to run the container with host networking, rather than the default bridge network, because otherwise the connection stack (hyperswarm) can struggle to holepunch to other instances on the same LAN.

Example command:

docker run --network host --env SEED_LIST_KEY=<YOUR_KEY> --env INSTRUMENT=TRUE --name seeder --mount type=volume,source=seeder-volume,destination=/home/seeder/store hdegroote/simple-seeder

Assuming some port is not firewalled on UDP and available, you can add a variation of --env DHT_PORT=40000

Using a volume for the corestore is recommended, to avoid having to redownload all hypercores when recreating the container
