NOTE: This project doesn't work and is not supported! It is available only for reference purposes.
Mostly the project builds and is functional at the time of writing this README. At least as far as I can tell, and minus the issues I'm having getting eloipool to function and connect to my node. Please see my configuration file for reference below and issues on Luke Dashjr repository.
I needed to configure bitcoind to accept incoming RPC connections first of all. I also went though the config.py to try to make eloipool connect. See instructions here: luke-jr/eloipool#3
I did hit this issue as well, but once I shared my local bitcoin directory with the container, then it went past that issue and it another one.
# Please note that config files are Python source code!
# A common mistake is to put an option list (such as TemplateChecks,
# JSONRPCAddresses, etc) excluding the final comma.
# For example (this is WRONG):
# JSONRPCAddresses = (
# ('', 8337) # <-- there must be a comma after EVERY item, even last
# )
# Without the final comma, should the option list ever have only one item in
# it, Python would interpret the "main" parenthesis as a mere sub-expression
# instead of a list of values. If that occurs, you might get crazy errors, or
# things might just not work correctly. Be careful to not miss the commas.
### Settings relating to server identity

### Settings relating to server scaling/load

# If dynamic targetting is enabled, this is a minimum

# How many shares per minute to try to achieve on average

### Settings relating to reward generation
# Address to generate rewards to
TrackerAddr = 'mrsP7M31efGkQHXb7nRiWLDjfV2M8oakf2' # testnet
# Coinbaser command to control reward delegation
# %d is replaced with the total value of the block reward (in satoshis)
# %p is replaced with the previous block hash in hexadecimal
# NOTE: This example donates 1% of block rewards to Luke-Jr for Eloipool development

# 'weight': 1,
# },
)
# JSON-RPC servers to check block proposals with
# If the list provided is empty, and selected source supports proposals, it
# alone will be used for checking. If TemplateChecks is None, no checking will
# ever be performed.
# NOTE: Any servers listed here MUST support BIP 23 Block Proposals
# NOTE: Mainline bitcoind (as of 0.8) does NOT support this (though the 0.8.0.eligius branch does)
TemplateChecks = (

# The specific TemplateSource that the block was based on will always be sent
# the block first.
# If setting is not specified, or None, full TemplateSources list will be used.

### Settings relating to network services
# Note that Eloipool only supports IPv6 sockets, and if you want to bind to an
# IPv4 address you will need to prepend it with ::ffff: eg ::ffff:192.168.1.2
# Addresses to listen on for JSON-RPC GBT/getwork server

('', 8337),

# Note this will only be used to distribute blocks the pool finds, nothing else

### Settings related to poolserver logging
# By default, significant events will be printed to the interactive console
# You can customize your logging using either simple parameters, or Python's advanced logging framework
# Note that using Python's logging framework will override the default console logging!
# To simply log everything to the system log (syslog) as well:
# LogToSysLog = True
# To make a log file:
# LogFile = 'filename.log'
# For a rotating log file:
LogFile = {
'filename': 'eloipool.log',
'when': 'midnight',
'backupCount': 7,
}
# For details, see:
# http://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html#logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler
### Settings related to blockchain parameters
# The subsidy algorithm provided below is specifically for Bitcoin, where:
# - 5000000000 is the amount of the block reward
# - 210000 is how many blocks until the next halving
# This algorithm can be modified slightly for altcoins which calculate a block reward from only the height.
SubsidyAlgo = lambda height: 5000000000 >> (height // 210000)
