How to use

Install the binary from NPM by typing npm i -g @ethereum-alarm-clock/cli and hitting enter.

To run a TimeNode or schedule a transaction you will need to create a keystore. eac contains some utilities to help out with this.

eac createWallet

will guide you through the steps of creating a keystore.

eac fundWallet <amt> --wallet <wallet_path> --password <string> --providers <urls>

will send <amt> ether to each account in the passed in wallet from a local unlocked account. Notice, you must be running a local node with a local unlocked account to use this utility. Otherwise you can send ether to your wallet accounts in any other way.

If you ever get tired of running a TimeNode, you can drain the funds held in the wallet to an external account like so:

eac drainWallet <target_address> --wallet <wallet_path> --password <string>

Once you have your wallet set up and funded, run a TimeNode with some default params like so: (providers is the comma-separated list of Ethereum node urls)

eac timenode --wallet <wallet_path> --password <string> --providers <urls> --maxDeposit 1

Open up ~/.eac.log for the output, I prefer to follow the output in a new screen:

tail -f ~/.eac.log

Docker

Sample Dockerfile for running the eac.js-cli node with remote web3 provider

Instructions

To create a docker image from the Dockerfile you need copy your wallet encrypted keystore json file to the root directory.

update the wallet file name in the Dockerfileon L#8 and L#13

Next step is to run docker build command

docker build . -t eac.js-cli --build-arg WALLET={WALLET_NAME}

where

• {WALLET_NAME} filename of the wallet file, has to be located in same dir as Dockerfile

Next running docker image

docker run -it -e PASSWORD={PASSWORD} -e PROVIDER={PROVIDER} eac.js-cli

where

• {PASSWORD} is a password used to encrypt wallet keystore file
• {PROVIDER} is an comma-separated list of urls of web3 provider
