Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you want a Docker Compose-managed local container with Solana development tools and SSH access, rather than assembling those tools separately.

Who it is for

  • Developers setting up a local workspace for Solana programs with Anchor and Rust.
  • Developers who want Mocha available in the same container for Solana-related testing.
  • Developers running a web project alongside Solana development tools.

Documented uses

  • Build and start a bundled Solana development container.
  • Connect to the container over SSH and complete its documented Solana installation step.
  • Use the container as a shared workspace for Solana tooling and a web project.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README requires Docker and Docker Compose on the host and documents SSH access with a password.

  • The toolset is bundled in a container managed by Docker Compose.
  • The setup includes a separate Solana installation-script step after the container starts.
  • The README lists port 22 for SSH, ports 8899 and 8900 for Solana, and port 3000 for a web project.
  • A line-ending error for the installation script has a documented sed workaround.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Build and start the development container

Prepare the container and connect to it over SSH for the documented Solana installation stage.

Before you start

  • Docker and Docker Compose installed on the host
  • The solana-docker repository downloaded and unzipped or cloned

Steps

  1. Open a terminal in the repository folder.

  2. Run docker-compose build, then run docker-compose up -d after the build completes.

  3. Connect with ssh sshuser@127.0.0.1 using the documented password password.

  4. Run ./solana-install.sh in the container, enter password when prompted, follow the prompts, and wait for it to finish.

  5. Exit the SSH session and reconnect to begin working with Solana.

Expected outcome

A running container with the documented tools, with the installation script completed and SSH access available.

Guide limitations

  • The instructions do not specify host operating-system compatibility or a particular development or test command.
  • The README documents a line-ending workaround if the script fails with a /bin/bash^M bad-interpreter error.
  • The README says to run docker-compose down after exiting SSH to stop the container.
