lnd for Docker

Docker image that runs lnd in a container for easy deployment.

The image contains the latest lnd daemon and lndconnect.

Quick Start

  1. Create a lnd-data volume to persist the lnd data, should exit immediately. The lnd-data container will store the lnd data when the node container is recreated (software upgrade, reboot, etc):

    docker volume create --name=lnd-data
docker run -v lnd-data:/lnd --name=lnd-node -d \
    -p 9735:9735 \
    -p 10009:10009 \
    lnzap/lnd:latest \
    --bitcoin.active \
    --bitcoin.testnet \
    --debuglevel=info \
    --bitcoin.node=neutrino \
    --neutrino.connect=testnet1-btcd.zaphq.io \
    --neutrino.connect=testnet2-btcd.zaphq.io \
    --autopilot.active \
    --rpclisten=0.0.0.0:10009

  2. Verify that the container is running and lnd node is downloading the blockchain

    $ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                              NAMES
d0e1076b2dca        lnzap/lnd:latest            "lnd_oneshot"       2 seconds ago       Up 1 seconds        0.0.0.0:9735->9735/tcp, 0.0.0.0:10009->10009/tcp   lnd-node

  3. You can then access the daemon's output thanks to the docker logs command

    docker logs -f lnd-node

  4. Install optional init scripts for upstart and systemd are in the init directory.
