How to run Kovan node & deploy to Kovan

[nazariyv]

Would be great to have a doc explaining how exactly to either run own node / use providers (like Infura). This is a great doc on how to set up a local node with docker:

https://docs.chain.link/docs/run-an-ethereum-client

But when I run kovan docker node with the above command:

docker run -h eth --name eth -p 8546:8546 \
           -v ~/.parity-kovan:/home/parity/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/ \
           -it parity/parity:stable --chain=kovan \
           --ws-interface=all --ws-origins="all" \
           --base-path /home/parity/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/

and then run yarn run deploy in contracts I get:

  yarn run deploy
yarn run v1.22.4
$ truffle migrate

Compiling your contracts...
===========================
> Everything is up to date, there is nothing to compile.

> Something went wrong while attempting to connect to the network. Check your network configuration.

Could not connect to your Ethereum client with the following parameters:
    - host       > localhost
    - port       > 8545
    - network_id > *
Please check that your Ethereum client:
    - is running
    - is accepting RPC connections (i.e., "--rpc" option is used in geth)
    - is accessible over the network
    - is properly configured in your Truffle configuration file (truffle-config.js)

Truffle v5.1.15 (core: 5.1.15)

Hey @rodrprincipe, what context are you trying to implement this in?

[rodrprincipe]

Hi Denham, I am trying to deploy this https://github.com/makerdao/dss-deploy-scripts on kovan, using the local testnet I have no problems, probably I am missing something during the process. Thanks for your kind help in advance
