Bitcoind Container

Bitcoind Container image that runs the Bitcoin node in a container for easy deployment.

Setup (Quickstart)

Create Directory bitcoin for the persisten data (mkdir bitcoin).

Create bitcoin/bitcoin.conf (Example):

# [core]
prune=20000

# [debug]
logips=1
printtoconsole=1

# [rpc]
# Format <USERNAME>:<SALT>$<HASH>. You can generate this value at https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-rpc-auth-generator/. 
rpcauth=${SECRET_BITCOIN_RPC_AUTH}
server=1
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcallowip=10.0.0.0/8
rpcallowip=172.16.0.0/12
rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/16

Use tools like bitcoin-core-config-generator or read the manpage.

Use any open source rpc-auth-generator e.g. https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-rpc-auth-generator/ to generate the repc credentials for the config
