Gamma server under the hood
This page is for informational purposes only for advanced users. These technical details are abstracted away from developers by Gamma CLI.
Gamma server runs under the hood on Docker. Docker is a platform that performs operating-system-level virtualization, also known as "containerization".
You can print docker images that are available on your machine using the docker CLI
docker images
If you've installed Gamma CLI successfully, you should see among the results something similar to
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
orbsnetwork/gamma v0.8.0 61057f923f89 2 weeks ago 426MB
When Gamma CLI is starting Gamma server, under the hood it's running
docker run -d --name orbs-gamma-server orbsnetwork/gamma
When Gamma CLI stops Gamma server, under the hood it's running
docker stop orbs-gamma-server
docker rm -f orbs-gamma-server
You can check if a docker container is currently running with
docker ps
And if it is, you can examine the logs of the container with
docker logs -f orbs-gamma-server
