lncm/bitcoind

lncm/bitcoind is an MIT-licensed Docker image project that builds and packages Bitcoin Core’s bitcoind software for amd64, arm64v8 and arm32v7. Its documented usage covers pulling an image, running a node with persistent host data, exposing network and notification ports, and issuing Bitcoin Core commands inside the container.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a Bitcoin Core node is to run in Docker and the documented image, architecture choices and container configuration fit the deployment.

Who it is for

  • Operators deploying Bitcoin Core nodes in Docker.
  • Developers who need to run Bitcoin Core in a container and interact with it through Bitcoin Core command-line tools.

Documented uses

  • Pull an image for the host's native CPU architecture or choose an architecture-specific image tag.
  • Run bitcoind in a container while retaining its data in a host directory.
  • Expose the documented RPC, peer-to-peer and ZMQ block and transaction ports.
  • Run bitcoind and bitcoin-cli commands inside an active container.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project documents image pulls from Docker Hub and provides its repository under the MIT license.

  • The README lists amd64, arm64v8 and arm32v7 binaries; its example pull command selects the host's native architecture, with a separate example for an architecture-specific tag.
  • The documented run example maps RPC on 8332, peer-to-peer on 8333, ZMQ block notifications on 28332 and ZMQ transaction notifications on 28333.
  • Builds are based on Alpine, and the repository describes automated tag builds, signed tags and OpenTimestamps for tags.
  • The README directs users to Bitcoin Core documentation for configuration-file guidance.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Run a Bitcoin command in the container

Issue a documented Bitcoin Core command to a running container.

Before you start

  • A running container named bitcoind

Steps

  1. Use docker exec -it bitcoind followed by the binary and command.

  2. For example, run bitcoin-cli -getinfo or bitcoin-cli getblockcount.

Expected outcome

The command is issued to the Bitcoin Core software in the running container.

Guide limitations

  • The documented interaction requires the container to be running and named bitcoind.
