curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | bash -s docker
env | grep '^POOLS_' > .env
curl -fsSL https://images.swap.dotwallet.com/dotswap_dex/docker-compose-v2.yml | docker compose -p dotswap-dex -f - up -d --force-recreate

# If you need to run with sudo privileges, use the following script
sudo curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo bash -s docker
env | grep '^POOLS_' > .env
sudo curl -fsSL https://images.swap.dotwallet.com/dotswap_dex/docker-compose-v2.yml | sudo -E docker compose -p dotswap-dex -f - up -d --force-recreate

Remember to use your own address/private key/mnemonics

Manual Deployment

Docker Installation

The recommended way to deploy DOTSWAP DEX is using Docker. To install Docker, please refer to Docker's Installation Guide. For questions regarding Docker installation, please refer to Docker's Troubleshooting Guide.

# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | bash -s docker

Get Deployment Script

Download the latest configuration file docker-compose.yml from DOTSWAP.

Environment Variable Configuration

Before running DEX, you need to modify the following environment variables in docker-compose.yml:

• DOTSWAP_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS: The wallet address to register with DotSwap Nexus as the Market Making Account.

• DOTSWAP_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY: The private key of the wallet address to register with DotSwap Nexus, used to prove ownership of this address.

• MNEMONIC: The wallet mnemonic phrase for allowing the independent DotSwap Nexus instance to sign transaction and provide liquidity.

• POOLS_BTC_TOKEN: The key is the names of the involved tokens in a trading pair, and the value is the address information for providing liquidity. For example:

  • To provide liquidity for BTC and DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON, the environment variable is configured as POOLS_BTC_DOGGOTOTHEMOON:addr

  • If BTC and DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON are provided liquidity from different addresses (e.g. you're using Xverse wallet), the environment variable is configured as POOLS_BTC_DOGGOTOTHEMOON:addr1,addr2

  • Multiple trading pairs can be configured, but one address can only be configured for one trading pair.

  • Note that Token names should not contain the • symbol.

Configuration Example

Pay attention to the indentation level of the YAML configuration to ensure it is correct. If the value of a configuration item is a multi-line string, use | or > correctly to maintain the format and follow YAML's indentation rules.

Start Service

Check the docker-compose version; it needs to be greater than 1.21.0.

docker-compose -v
# docker-compose version 1.17.1 ❌
# or
docker compose verison  # Note: There is a typo in the original document, "verison" should be "version"
# Docker Compose version v2.32.4 ✅

Execute the following command in the terminal to start DOTSWAP DEX:

# Execute in the command line
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d 
# or 
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d 

Access Service

After successful startup, you can access it via http://localhost:17610.

Security Operations

# Clear environment variables
unset DOTSWAP_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX
unset MNEMONIC

# Clear command history
history -c 

Never expose your private keys/mnemonics. And take the security of your server seriously.
