A Docker container running Litecoin as a service and exposing the REST API.
- Docker, see e.g. https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
- Docker Compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
Ensure that a user dockeruser
with ID 10000
exists on your local system.
Modify docker/litecoin.conf
according to your environment.
Configure rpcallowip=...
to allow the client/daemon to accept
RPC connections outside the localhost and set an RPC username (rpcuser
)
and password (rpcpassword
).
Make sure your config file includes the following line:
txindex=1
Client data is persisted on the host machine using a Docker volume.
In the default setting the local directory ./data
is mapped to
to /opt/graphsense/data
inside the container. To override these
settings a Docker Compose override file can be used, e.g.
> cat docker-compose.override.yml
version: "3.1"
services:
litecoin-client:
volumes:
- /var/data/graphsense/clients/ltc:/opt/graphsense/data
The data directory on the host system must be writeable by user dockeruser
.
Building the docker container (a tagged GitHub version of Litecoin is
specified in docker/Makefile
):
docker-compose build
Starting the container (in detached mode):
docker-compose up -d
Showing log information:
docker-compose logs
