Requirements ------------ Physical machine, cloud instance, or VPS that supports Docker (i.e. Vultr, Digital Ocean, KVM or XEN based VMs) running Ubuntu 14.04 or later ( not OpenVZ containers! ) At least 700 GB to store the block chain files (and always growing!) At least 1 GB RAM + 2 GB swap file Recommended and tested on unadvertised (only shown within control panel) Vultr SATA Storage 1024 MB RAM/250 GB disk instance @ $10/mo. Vultr also accepts Bitcoin payments ! Really Fast Quick Start ----------------------- One liner for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machines with JSON-RPC enabled on localhost and adds upstart init script: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kylemanna/docker-bitcoind/master/bootstrap-host.sh sh -s trusty Quick Start ----------- 1. Create a bitcoind-data volume to persist the bitcoind blockchain data, should exit immediately. The bitcoind-data container will store the blockchain when the node container is recreated (software upgrade, reboot, etc): docker volume create --name=bitcoind-data docker run -v bitcoind-data:/bitcoin/.bitcoin --name=bitcoind-node -d \\ -p 8333:8333 \\ -p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332 \\ kylemanna/bitcoind 2. Verify that the container is running and bitcoind node is downloading the blockchain $ docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES d0e1076b2dca kylemanna/bitcoind:latest \"btc oneshot\" 2 seconds ago Up 1 s","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/kylemanna","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/kylemanna/docker-bitcoind/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
