Sorry , my english is not very well , buy i has a problem hope you can help me
I user command bitcoin-cli getnewaddress and bitcoin-cli getblance
return:
error code: -32601
error message:
Method not found

i remark the disablewallet=1 and "docker exec {CONTAINER ID} bitcoind -conf=/bitcoin/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf -rescan"
but it still the same, is it still disable wallet?
what can I do ? what command can show wallet status ? can you help me

This docker container really isn't intended to manage a wallet. It's too likely that people will lose their wallet as a result of not understanding docker volumes. I'd recommend running the client natively on your host for wallet operations.

But for those who do understand it? Im running this on my truenas server as its easy setup. Making my own little thing and need to make addresses/wallets. You got any references to a different docker image that allows this?

Im trying to use your docker-bitcoind with this golang package but it gives me "Method not found" when trying to create a new address

EDIT: just found that if you set DISABLEWALLET=0 as a env it works :)
