Optimism Operations

Building the images

It is recommended to use Docker BuildKit and Docker Compose CLI Build to improve the container build times. You can do that as follows:

export COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1
export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

For your best experience, we also recommend aliasing

Bringing up a network

You can bring up an optimism network with the following command:

docker-compose up

You can use standard docker-compose commands for managing the containers, e.g. getting only the logs of l2geth: docker-compose --follow l2geth

Docker Containers

Under docker/ you will find all the docker containers we use. In particular, Dockerfile.monorepo implements a multi-stage docker build in order to cache as many installation steps as possible to save time.
