I am running the docker quick start image for a standalone private test net. I have the network up and running, but I cannot find the secret key for the single funded test account.

Where can I find this secret key? It is not in my logs.

I have seen some answers saying to run stellar-core --newdb, but I do not have the stellar-core command, nor have I seen any documentation on where to download or be able to use the stellar-core cli command.

Using the JS-SDK you can do the following:

Network.use(new Network(“Standalone Network; February 2017”));
Keypair.master().secret(); // your secret key

The secret seed for the master account is the sha256 hash of the network passphrase. e.g. "Standalone Network ; February 2017".

KeyPair.fromSecretSeed(sha256(passphrase.getBytes(UTF_8)))

  • Thanks! Which libraries are you using for the getBytes method and the UTF_8 variable?

  • These are Java methods taken from the Scala SDK source. Which language are you targeting?

  • Yea i've been trying to make it work. There is no fromSecretSeed method, but fromSecret seems to only want a string and the solution provided returns a list.
