Docker setup for running JoinMarket in regtest mode

This setup will help you set up a regtest environment quickly. It starts two JoinMarket containers, hence not only API calls but also actual CoinJoin transactions can be tested.

Commands

Run

Go to the docker directory (cd docker/regtest) and execute:

docker-compose up

Stop

docker-compose down

If you want to start from scratch, pass the --volumes param:

docker-compose down --volumes

Images

The Docker setup is an adaption of joinmarket-webui-standalone with as little adaptations as possible. It will fetch the latest commit from the master branch of the joinmarket-clientserver repo. Keep in mind: Building from master is not always reliable. This tradeoff is made to enable testing new features immediately by just rebuilding the images.

The second JoinMarket container is based on joinmarket-webui/joinmarket-webui-dev-standalone:master which exposes an UI on port 29080 (username joinmarket and pass joinmarket for Basic Authentication). This is useful if you want to perform regression tests.

Rebuild

In order to incorporate the current contents of master branch, simply rebuild the joinmarket images from scratch.

# rebuilding the images with contents of current master branch
docker-compose build --pull --no-cache

Debugging

Debug logs

docker exec -t jm_regtest_joinmarket tail -f /root/.joinmarket/logs/jmwalletd_stdout.log

Display running JoinMarket version

docker exec -t jm_regtest_joinmarket git log --oneline -1

Helper scripts

Some helper scripts are included to make recurring tasks and interaction with the containers easier.

init-setup.sh

This script helps in providing both JoinMarket containers a wallet with spendable coins and starting the Maker Service in the secondary container. Its main goal is to make CoinJoin transactions possible in the regtest environment. It should be run immediately after the Docker setup is successfully started so you can start developing right away.

# fund wallets and start maker service in secondary container
[user@home regtest]$ ./init-setup.sh
[...]
Attempt to start maker for wallet funded.jmdat in secondary container ..
[...]
Starting maker service for wallet funded.jmdat
Successfully started maker for wallet funded.jmdat in secondary container.
[...]

mine-block.sh

Mine one or more blocks to an optionally given address.

[user@home regtest]$ ./mine-block.sh

Usage: mine-block.sh [# of blocks] [address]

# mine a single block
[user@home regtest]$ ./mine-block.sh

# mine 21 blocks
[user@home regtest]$ ./mine-block.sh 21

# mine 42 blocks to given address
[user@home regtest]$ ./mine-block.sh 42 bcrt1qrnz0thqslhxu86th069r9j6y7ldkgs2tzgf5wx

This also comes in handy if you want to periodically mine blocks:

# mine a block every 5 seconds
[user@home regtest]$ watch -n 5 ./mine-block.sh

fund-wallet.sh

Funding and/or creating a joinmarket regtest wallet.

See the help page for examples and more usage information:

[user@home regtest]$ ./fund-wallet.sh --help

Funding regtest wallet

Executed without parameters the script will create one spendable coinbase output to a wallet named 'funded.jmdat'. If the wallet does not exist, it will be created. See the following output:

[user@home regtest]$ ./fund-wallet.sh
Trying to fund wallet funded.jmdat..
[...]
Successfully generated 1 blocks with rewards to bcrt1qyz7wql00gghwk25er08re3dhtv66h20h8gtgsp

Control various parameters by passing options to the script.

e.g. "Mine 5 blocks to wallet satoshi.jmdat with password correctbatteryhorsestaple in mixdepth 3"

[user@home regtest]$ ./fund-wallet.sh --blocks 5 --wallet-name satoshi.jmdat --password correctbatteryhorsestaple --mixdepth 3
Trying to fund wallet satoshi.jmdat..

Troubleshooting

Joinmarket won't start in initial run

Solution: Somehow nbxplorer does not notify joinmarket that the chain is fully synced in the initial run. Just shutdown all containers with docker-compose down wait for it to finish and run docker-compose up again (docker-compose restart did not work sometimes!). Now you should see joinmarket coming up and see something like the following output:

joinmarket_1  | 2009-01-03 00:02:44,907 INFO success: jmwalletd entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs)
joinmarket_1  | 2009-01-03 00:02:44,907 INFO success: ob-watcher entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs)
