Dockerfile for Garlicoin daemon under Linux

💰 Donations welcomed at GTGrDXcusqnvXhXhGBJEFwpwhXrSftAHcw 🙇

See garlicoin.conf for an example configuration file.

Run Docker image

$ docker volume create garlicoin_data
$ docker run -d \
    -p 42068:42068 \
    -p 42069:42069 \
    -v garlicoin_data:/data/garlicoin \
    --restart=always \
    --name garlicoin \
    ewrogers/garlicoin:latest -rescan -txindex

NOTE: The -rescan and -txindex args are optional. Any args after the docker image are passed to garlicoind directly.

Copy existing wallet file to data directory (Optional)

# cp wallet.dat /var/lib/docker/volumes/garlicoin_data/_data

A new wallet will be created automatically if you do not have an existing one you wish to use.

Update garlicoin.conf (Recommended)

$ nano garlicoin.conf
# cp garlicoin.conf /var/lib/docker/volumes/garlicoin_data/_data

It is highly recommended that you change the rpcpassword field.

Restart Docker container (for wallet/config changes)

$ docker restart garlicoin

Testing via CLI

$ docker exec -it garlicoin /bin/bash
# garlicoin-cli -datadir=${GARLICOIN_DATA_DIR} getblockchaininfo
# garlicoin-cli -datadir=${GARLICOIN_DATA_DIR} getaddressesbyaccount ""
# garlicoin-cli -datadir=${GARLICOIN_DATA_DIR} getbalance

You should see getblockchaininfo return a non-zero blocks field. This indicators which block your local wallet is on when syncing (it should eventually match the current head block number).
