Docker Repo for Bitcoind.

Mandatory Requirement: Must use a local mount volume and config file.

Example:

sudo docker run -it --name=bitcoin-docker \   
-v /path/to/local/bitcoin/dir:/opt/bitcoin \   
-p 127.0.0.1:8332 sreekanthgs/bitcoin-docker:latest

Config file is read from: /opt/bitcoin/bitcoind.conf, i.e., /path/to/local/bitcoin/dir/bitcoind.conf

##Storing of Data

You can store data within /opt/bitcoin/data or any directory within /opt/bitcoin.

This will inturn store your data within /path/to/local/bitcoin/dir described above.

Hence, to store within a different local dir, create a hard symlink for any other directory inside /path/to/local/bitcoin/dir and then use that directory as datadir in bitcoind.conf

###Example

If your host directory is /usr/local/bitcoin and want to store data in /var/bitcoin, do the following:

mkdir -p /usr/local/bitcoin
mkdir -p /var/bitcoin
ln -s /var/bitcoin /usr/local/bitcoin/data

and use /opt/bitcoin/data as your data dir inside the bitcoind.conf

#bitcoind.conf
datadir=/opt/bitcoin/data
