Simple usage

Start Ethereum cpp client with options -j -b

$ dokku eth:start                  # server side
$ ssh -t dokku@dokku.me eth:start  # client side

Stop Ethereum cpp client

$ dokku eth:stop

See the logs

$ dokku eth:logs

Advanced usage

Get the current ethereum version

$ dokku eth:version

Get info regarding ethereum host, json port and options used to invoke it

$ dokku eth:info

Link ethereum to an app

$ dokku eth:link <app>

When doing so, the environment variable ETHEREUM_HOST will be set for given app.

TODO

• Allow other options to be set
• Start the container automatically
