Bitcoind for Docker
===================[![Docker Stars](https://img.shields.io/docker/stars/kylemanna/bitcoind.svg)](https://hub.docker.com/r/kylemanna/bitcoind/)

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/kylemanna/docker-bitcoind.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kylemanna/docker-bitcoind/)Docker image that runs the Bitcoin bitcoind node in a container for easy deployment.
Requirements
------------* Physical machine, cloud instance, or VPS that supports Docker (i.e. [Vultr](http://bit.ly/1HngXg0), [Digital Ocean](http://bit.ly/18AykdD), KVM or XEN based VMs) running Ubuntu 14.04 or later (*not OpenVZ containers!*)
* At least 500 GB to store the block chain files (and always growing!)
* At least 1 GB RAM + 2 GB swap fileRecommended and tested on unadvertised (only shown within control panel) [Vultr SATA Storage 1024 MB RAM/250 GB disk instance @ $10/mo](http://bit.ly/vultrbitcoind). 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/bitcoind2. 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 seconds 127.0.0.1:8332->8332/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8333->8333/tcp bitcoind-node3. You can then access the daemon's output thanks to the [docker logs command]( https://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#logs)
docker logs -f bitcoind-node
4. Install optional init scripts for upstart and systemd are in the `init` directory.
