nexbitio/bitcoind repository overview
docker-bitcoind
A Docker configuration with sane defaults for running a fully-validating Bitcoin node, based on Alpine Linux.
Warning: older versions of this Dockerfile were based on Ubuntu and included all build dependencies, but due to the ridiculous size of the resulting image I've moved to binaries downloaded to Alpine Linux. If I've screwed up your development workflow somehow, file an issue and we'll get it fixed.
Quick start
Requires that Docker should be installed on the host machine.
# Create some directory where your bitcoin data will be stored.
$ mkdir /home/youruser/bitcoin_data
$ docker run --name bitcoind -d \
--env 'BTC_RPCUSER=foo' \
--env 'BTC_RPCPASSWORD=password' \
--env 'BTC_TXINDEX=1' \
--volume /home/youruser/bitcoin_data:/root/.bitcoin \
-p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332 \
--publish 8333:8333 \
nexbitio/bitcoind
$ docker logs -f bitcoind
[ ... ]
Configuration
A custom bitcoin.conf file can be placed in the mounted data directory.
Otherwise, a default bitcoin.conf file will be automatically generated based
on environment variables passed to the container:
| name | default |
|---|---|
| BTC_RPCUSER | btc |
| BTC_RPCPASSWORD | changeme |
| BTC_RPCPORT | 8332 |
| BTC_RPCALLOWIP | ::/0 |
| BTC_RPCCLIENTTIMEOUT | 30 |
| BTC_DISABLEWALLET | 1 |
| BTC_TXINDEX | 0 |
| BTC_TESTNET | 0 |
| BTC_DBCACHE | 0 |
| BTC_ZMQPUBHASHTX | tcp://0.0.0.0:28333 |
| BTC_ZMQPUBHASHBLOCK | tcp://0.0.0.0:28333 |
| BTC_ZMQPUBRAWTX | tcp://0.0.0.0:28333 |
| BTC_ZMQPUBRAWBLOCK | tcp://0.0.0.0:28333 |
Daemonizing
The smart thing to do if you're daemonizing is to use Docker's builtin restart policies, but if you're insistent on using systemd, you could do something like
Create a "bitcoind.service"
$ nano /etc/systemd/system/bitcoind.service
$ systemctl start bitcoind
$ systemctl enable bitcoind
bitcoind.service
[Unit]
Description=Bitcoind
After=docker.service
Requires=docker.service
[Service]
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker kill bitcoind
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker rm bitcoind
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/docker pull nexbitio/bitcoind
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run \
--name bitcoind \
-p 8333:8333 \
-p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332 \
-v /data/bitcoind:/root/.bitcoin \
nexbitio/bitcoind
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop bitcoind
Service file ends
Run : ["docker logs -f bitcoind" to ensure that bitcoind continues to run.]
Implement NGINX
~#apt-get install nginx
~#nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Basic NGINX conf below (can use ssl also)
worker_processes auto;
daemon off;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 10024;
}
http {
sendfile off;
access_log off;
server_tokens off;
keepalive_timeout 65;
server {
charset utf-8;
client_max_body_size 128M;
listen 80;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8332;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
}
