ico-rb

ico-rb is a dockerized environment to run ethereum network & deploy smart contracts to the ethereum network using ruby

Run docker container

docker-compose build will fetch all dependencies & install.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up will start running the ethereum network in the container. If you are running this for the first time, it will take few hours to sync all blocks to your container.

By default this is pointing to rinkeby ethereum test network. But if you want to run the main ethereum network remove command: --rinkeby line from docker-compose.yml

Login to the geth console of the container

docker exec -it CONTAINERNAME geth attach ipc:/root/.ethereum/rinkeby/geth.ipc

If you are connecting to the main ethereum network, docker exec -it CONTAINERNAME geth attach will be enough

Login to the bash of the container

docker exec -it CONTAINERNAME bash

In the app directory bundle install & run the ruby script bundle exec ruby contract_sample.rb

For this I'm using ethereum.rb gem to compile & deploy the smart contract.

Make sure you create a new account from geth, unlock the account & have some amount of ethereum before deploy the smart contract.
