litecoin-docker

Docker Repo for Litecoind.

Usage Instructions

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

Example:

sudo docker run -it --name=litecoin-docker \   
-v /path/to/local/litecoin/dir:/opt/litecoin \   
-p 127.0.0.1:9332:9332 sreekanthgs/litecoin-docker:latest

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

##Storing of Data

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

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

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

###Example

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

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

and use /opt/litecoin/data as your data dir inside the litecoind.conf

#litecoind.conf
datadir=/opt/litecoin/data
