Build Autonomys Images for COMET (CM3588)

info

This should not be necessary and is for informational purposes only. You can use the aarch64 image by adding -aarch64 to the end and specifying platform: linux/amd64 in the stack file.

Introduction​

If you want to build your own images for whatever reason, this is a pretty simple process. We need to:

  1. Clone the Autonomys Subspace Repository
  2. Set up buildx
  3. Build the Image
  4. Use the image in our container

To do this you should have Docker installed

Download Latest Version​

Head over to Autonomys Releases and get the source from the latest release. Once you copy the link you can download it with wget

wget <LINK>

Then extract the tar with

tar -xzvf <tar file>

Then cd into the directory that was created.

cd <FOLDER NAME>

Set up buildx​

Set up a buildx builder, if you do not already have one, that supports multiple platforms

sudo docker buildx create --use

Build the Image​

We need to build the image for linux/arm64 using the correct dockerfile (aarch64) for both the Farmer and the Node. Using the --load flag should store the image locally for use. You should update the <TAG> to be the current release, such as gemini-3h-2024-oct-03

Farmer​

sudo docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 --progress plain --load -t autonomys-comet-farmer:<TAG> -f Dockerfile-farmer.aarch64 .

Node​

sudo docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 --progress plain --load -t autonomys-comet-node:<TAG> -f Dockerfile-node.aarch64 .

This process may take some time depending on the resources your PC has available. You can swap out the Dockerfile and change the platform depending on what system you are building the image for.
