A docker image based on the provided Dockerfile is available via 

ghcr.io/foxypool/foxy-farmer:latest
and 
foxypool/foxy-farmer:latest
For specific tags see this list. A docker-compose.yaml example is available as well, to get started.

Currently, this requires you to have a working foxy-farmer.yaml already available to mount into the container. See this example configuration for reference. If you do not have a .chia_keys directory from a previous chia install, you can set the CHIA_MNEMONIC environment variable to your 24 words and it will create they keyring accordingly. Please unset it again once done.

If you do not have the plot_nfts key in your foxy-farmer.yaml you can either copy its value from the pool_list in a working chia config.yaml, or run the join-pool command inside the container.

Note

To execute the join-pool command please first exec into the running container with 

docker exec -it <name of your container> bash
Then you can run foxy-farmer join-pool inside the container.
