crypdex/litecoin-core repository overview

⁠

⁠Litecoin Core

A clean Litecoin Core multiarch image suitable for deployment on a range of targets from SBCs to the cloud.

This image is maintained as part of the Blackbox⁠ framework.

⁠Tags

• 0.17.1, 0.17, latest (0.17/Dockerfile⁠)

Picking the right tag

• crypdex/litecoin-core:latest: points to the latest stable release available of Litecoin Core. Use this only if you know what you're doing as upgrading Litecoin Core blindly is a risky procedure.
• crypdex/litecoin-core:<version>: based on a slim Debian image, points to a specific version branch or release of Litecoin Core. Uses the pre-compiled binaries which are fully tested by the Litecoin Core team.

⁠Supported Architectures

• Supported architectures:
  amd64, arm64v8

⁠Basic Usage

This image contains the main binaries from the Litecoin Core project:

• litecoind
• litecoin-cli
• litecoin-tx

It behaves like a binary, so you can pass any arguments to the image and they will be forwarded to litecoind:

❯ docker run --rm crypdex/litecoin-core -regtest=1 -printtoconsole

Or you may specify the binary to call, like litecoin-cli:

❯ docker run --rm crypdex/litecoin-core litecoin-cli getinfo

By default, litecoind will run as user litecoin for security reasons.

⁠Volume Mounts

The container uses Litecoin's default data directory, ~/.litecoin. As such you can mount a persistent volume like so

❯ docker run -v ${PWD}/data:/home/litecoin/.litecoin --rm crypdex/litecoin-core -regtest=1 -printtoconsole

⁠Docker Compose

A minimal docker-compose.yml file might look like this

litecoin-core:
  image: crypdex/litecoin-core
  command:
    -printtoconsole
    -regtest=1
