Mac OS

The following assumes you have Docker Installed

• Recommended to also have MacOS Homebrew installed

• Use Homebrew to install jq with brew install jq

In your working directory:

1. Clone a copy of the gaia repo:

$ git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/stacks-network/gaia

2. Change your cwd:

$ cd gaia/deploy/docker

3. Create a copy of sample-disk.env and fill out the values:

$ cp sample-disk.env disk.env
# Update the DOMAIN_NAME variable to `localhost`

4. Start the server:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-base.yaml -f docker-compose-disk.yaml --env-file disk.env up

5. Verify the server is responding locally:

$ curl -sk https://localhost/hub_info | jq
  {
    "challenge_text": "[\"gaiahub\",\"0\",\"gaia-0\",\"blockstack_storage_please_sign\"]",
    "latest_auth_version": "v1",
    "max_file_upload_size_megabytes": 20,
    "read_url_prefix": "https://localhost/reader/"
  }

Modifying the configuration for your gaia-hub

Two methods exist:

1. Edit the gaia/deploy/configs/gaia/hub-config.json using vim or other

• requires a restart of the containers: docker-compose -f docker-compose-base.yaml -f docker-compose-disk.yaml --env-file disk.env restart

1. Use the running admin container to modify any config values, and also reload the hub when complete:
