ramsvidor/bitcoind repository overview

⁠Debian based Bitcoin Core for Docker

Hands-on Docker image for Bitcoin Core development running on Debian⁠.

This is a very minimalist container just for running testnet and develop on top of it. It cointains only the bitcoind executable and should be queried from outside the container with curl or other similar tools.

Out-of-the-box, this image is configured to bind to all interfaces and default RPC authentication is rpcuser=bitcoind and rpcpassword=secret. !!!DON'T RUN WITH THESE SETTINGS IN PRODUCTION!!!

@see Dockerfile⁠
