⁠Troubleshooting:

⁠EACCESS error

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/home/node/data/bitcoin.conf'

Be careful the permission inside the docker are equals to those on the host, in particular:

• uid and gid inside the docker should match those on the host. If not, overwrite them using the -u option

docker run ... -u 1001:1001 provable/litecore-node

• check $(pwd)/data doesn't have set root access, otherwise changes it through

chown -R auser:agroup $(pwd)/data
