There are two ways to obtain a Kona Docker image:
  1. GitHub
  2. Building it from source
Once you have obtained the Docker image, you can run the node. Jump ahead to Run a Node using Docker page.

GitHub

Kona docker images are published with every release on GitHub Container Registry. You can obtain the latest kona-node image with:
docker pull us-docker.pkg.dev/oplabs-tools-artifacts/images/kona-node
Specify a specific version (e.g. v0.1.0) like so.
docker pull us-docker.pkg.dev/oplabs-tools-artifacts/images/kona-node:v0.1.0
You can test the image with:
docker run --rm us-docker.pkg.dev/oplabs-tools-artifacts/images/kona-node --version
If you can see the latest release version, then you’ve successfully installed Kona via Docker.

Building the Docker image

To build the image from source, navigate to the root of the repository and run:
just build-local kona-node
This will create an image with the tag kona:local. To specify a custom tag, just pass it in after kona-node in the command above, like so:
just build-local kona-node my-custom-tag
The build will likely take several minutes. Once it’s built, test it with:
docker run kona:local --version
