Docker Monerod

Run monerod using Docker.

This image clones https://github.com/monero-project/monero and builds it according to instructions.

Usage

Append any monerod params after the image name. i.e:

docker run -it --rm lchaia/monerod --help

Blockchain Volume

The blockchain will get downloaded at /home/monero/.bitmonero, so you should volume-map that path for persistance

Permission issues

If experiencing permission issues on the volume-mapped folder these can be solved with a chown like below:

docker run -it --rm -v /etc/monero-blockchain:/home/monero/.bitmonero \
--entrypoint chown --user root lchaia/monerod monero:monero -R /home/monero/.bitmonero
