Using heimdallcli in a dockerized local network setup?

It's also possible to configure Heimdall by directly accessing the container's console, using commands to set up the configuration as needed. You can check the necessary configurations with commands like vi /var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml and ensure the parameters are correctly set for your network setup .

First, ensure that the Heimdall configuration file is appropriately set up within your Docker environment. If the directory /var/lib/heimdall/config does not exist within your Docker container, you might need to manually create it and ensure it has the necessary files like config.toml. Typically, Docker setups might not have these pre-set paths accessible directly.

You can try mounting the configuration directory from your host machine to the Docker container. This can be done with the Docker run command, adding a volume mapping argument such as -v /path/to/your/config:/var/lib/heimdall/config. This way, the heimdallcli in the Docker container can access the config files it requires.

According to the documentation, make sure the Heimdall service on your Docker container is configured with the appropriate endpoints and parameters it needs to operate, such as eth_rpc_url for Ethereum node connections .
