What it does

Eth-docker automates the setup and management of Ethereum nodes using Docker, making it easier for founders to run and maintain their own nodes.

When to use it

•You need to run a full Ethereum node for your startup's blockchain application
•You want to automate the deployment and scaling of Ethereum nodes
•You need to manage multiple Ethereum nodes for testing, development, or production environments

Ready-to-paste prompt

Run `ETH_NETWORK=mainnet make up` to start a mainnet Ethereum node

Heads up: You need to have Docker and Make installed on your system, and ensure that the `DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION` variable is set to a compatible version, as specified in the eth-docker README
