# MeyCoin Server

## Using Docker

The easiest way to run a local MeyCoin server is using Docker. An up-to-date Docker image is always available on Docker Hub.

```
$ docker run -p 7845:7845 meycoin/node
```

You can pass arguments to the server like this:

```bash
$ docker run -p 7845:7845 meycoin/node meycoinsvr --testmode
```

To supply your own config file, use:

```bash
$ docker run -p 7845:7845 -v $(pwd)/config.toml:/meycoin/config.toml meycoin/node meycoinsvr --config /meycoin/config.toml
```
