Eos: cleos command returns error

[rogerone-shen]

_alias cleos='docker-compose exec keosd /opt/eosio/bin/cleos -H nodeosd'
cleos get info_

After i run above commands, got this error:

_Host and port options (-H, --wallet-host, etc.) have been replaced with -u/--url and --wallet-url
Use for example -u http://localhost:8888 or --url https://example.invalid/_

[rogerone-shen]

As the error tells, i changed command to :
_alias cleos='docker-compose exec keosd /opt/eosio/bin/cleos -u http://localhost:8888/'
cleos get info_

and get this new error:
Error 3130001: Missing Chain API Plugin
Ensure that you have eosio::chain_api_plugin added to your node's configuration!
Error Details:
Chain API plugin is not enabled

I went back and check config.ini, it does enable chain_api_plugin. and from nodeos output logs, it shows chain_api_plugin is loaded.

I am trying to change command to this: _docker-compose exec nodeosd /opt/eosio/bin/cleos -u http://localhost:8888/ get info_ , and it works.

Could some body help update the document: https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/blob/master/Docker/README.md

It's because nodeosd is not located in the same container as keosd. The above command will work for read-only command, however, it won't work for a command that requires signing.

docker-compose exec keosd /opt/eosio/bin/cleos -u http://nodeosd:8888/ <your cleos subcommand here> will solve the problem. The docker documentation has also reflected the change. Hope this helps :)

Great job
