Dockerized bitcoind cluster with stunnel

This repository allows you run a full bitcoin network. You can run the cluster in three modes, mainnet, regtest and testnet by linking docker-compose.override.yml to different files. Communication of JSON-RPC is protected by stunnel.

Requirements

1. To run this you need both docker and docker-compose. It was tested on a clean Ubuntu 16.04 with the docker-ce package from Docker.
2. Create the following bind mounts for data persistence:

• /mnt/bitcoin/cluster/1
• /mnt/bitcoin/cluster/2
• /mnt/bitcoin/cluster/3

Usage

Link specific docker-compose file to docker-compose.override.yml, then simply run docker-compose up to start all the containers. This will start the bitcoin nodes, and expose RPC on all of them. The nodes will run on the following ports:

Node	P2P port *	RPC port *	RPC Username	RPC Password
master	18500	18400	bitcoin	bitcoin
node2	18501	18401	bitcoin	bitcoin
node3	18502	18402	bitcoin	bitcoin

Examples

Mainnet

ln -sf docker-compose.mainnet.yml docker-compose.override.yml
docker-compose up

Testnet

ln -sf docker-compose.testnet.yml docker-compose.override.yml
docker-compose up
