Docker Deployment

Use Docker for single-node development, smoke tests, and reproducible Agave flags. Mount the ledger on durable storage and publish only environment-required ports.

docker run --rm --name solana-rpc \
  -p 8899:8899 -p 8900:8900 -p 8001:8001/udp \
  -v "$PWD/ledger:/ledger" \
  --ulimit nofile=1000000:1000000 \
  solanalabs/solana:stable \
  solana-validator --ledger /ledger --rpc-port 8899 --rpc-bind-address 0.0.0.0

warning

Do not bind 8899 or 8900 directly to the Internet. Public RPC is dev/test only and can return 429 or 403.
