docker image.
Note the binary will be mounted into the container so it can be updated without
rebuilding the image.

## Configuration
The `make localnet-start` creates files for a 4-node testnet in `./build` by calling the `tendermint testnet` command.
The `make localnet-start` creates files for a 4-node testnet in `./build` by

The `./build` directory is mounted to the `/tendermint` mount point to attach the binary and config files to the container.

To change the number of validators / non-validators change the `localnet-start` Makefile target:
```
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
# Clear the build folder
rm -rf ./build
localnet-start: localnet-stop
@if ! [ -f build/node0/config/genesis.json ]; then docker run --rm -v $(CURDIR)/build:/tendermint:Z tendermint/localnode testnet --v 5 --n 3 --o . --populate-persistent-peers --starting-ip-address 192.167.10.2 ; fi

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
# Clear the build folder
rm -rf ./build/node*

## Logging
Log is saved under the attached volume, in the `tendermint.log` file. If the `LOG` environment variable is set to `stdout` at start, the log is not saved, but printed on the screen.

## Special binaries
If you have multiple binaries with different names, you can specify which one to run with the BINARY environment variable. The path of the binary is relative to the attached volume.
