Local Deployment with Docker

For local development and testing, we use Docker containerization to provide a sandboxed environment that mimics production.

Prerequisites​

  • Docker Desktop installed and running.
  • Para CLI installed.

Quick Start​

To deploy a node locally using the default configuration in your current directory:

para docker deploy node
para docker deploy package

Common Workflows​

Deploy:​

Deploy nodes, packages, or any sub component of a package to an existing node

para docker deploy [command]

Down:​

para docker down

Managing Local Nodes​

Use the ls command to see what is currently running on your machine:

para docker ls
