Handshake recently went out of stealth mode and launched their testnet.

Here’s how you can join the network:

  1. Make sure Docker and git are installed on your computer
  2. Download the Dockerfile:

git clone https://github.com/foobar94/handshake-docker

3. Change directories : cd handshake-docker

4. Build a docker image from the Dockerfile: docker build .

5. Take the recently created image and create a container from it: docker run -d <INSERT IMAGE ID>

(Note: to find the image id you can use the command docker images)

🎉 Your Handshake node is now running! 🎉

6. Now get a bash shell in the recently created container: docker exec -t -i <What Step 5returned> /bin/bash

7. Read the Handshake Documentation and #BUIDL
