Run a full Vertcoin node with one command
A Docker configuration with sane defaults for running a full Vertcoin node.
docker run -v /home/username/vertcoin:/data -p 5889:5889 lukechilds/vertcoind
If there's a vertcoin.conf in the /data volume it'll be used. If not, one will be created for you with a randomly generated JSON-RPC password.
To access JSON-RPC you'll also need to expose port 5888. You probably only want this available to localhost:
docker run -v /home/username/vertcoin:/data -p 5889:5889 -p 127.0.0.1:5888:5888 lukechilds/vertcoind
All CLI arguments are passed directly through to vertcoind.
You can use this to configure via CLI args without a config file:
docker run -v /home/username/vertcoin:/data \
-p 5889:5889 \
-p 127.0.0.1:5888:5888 \
lukechilds/vertcoind -rpcuser=jonsnow -rpcpassword=ikn0wnothin
Or just use the container like a vertcoind binary:
$ docker run lukechilds/vertcoind -version
