Electrum's focus is speed and simplicity, with low resource usage. It uses remote servers that handle the most complicated parts of the Bitcoin system, and it allows you to recover your wallet from a secret phrase.
ATTENTION: Please keep in mind that your wallet is stored in the created folder in your appdata directory/.electrum/wallets/YOURWALLETNAME - I strongly recommend you to backup this file on a regular basis!
IMPORT: If you are already using Electrum you can import your existing wallet by placing the WALLETFILE in the appdata directory for electrum/.electrum/wallets and then choose to use a existing wallet.
| Name | Value | Example |
|---|---|---|
| DATA_DIR | Please keep in mind that your wallet is stored there and I strongly recommend you to backup that path (the wallet is stored in your Electron appdata directory/.electrum/wallets/YOURWALLETNAME). | /electrum |
| UID | User Identifier | 99 |
| GID | Group Identifier | 100 |
| UMASK | Umask value | 000 |
docker run --name Electrum -d \
-p 8080:8080 \
--env 'UID=99' \
--env 'GID=100' \
--env 'UMASK=000' \
--env 'DATA_PERM=770' \
--volume /path/to/electrum:/electrum \

Please be sure to create the password first inside the container, to do that open up a console from the container (Unraid: In the Docker tab click on the container icon and on 'Console' then type in the following):
- su $USER
- vncpasswd
- ENTER YOUR PASSWORD TWO TIMES AND PRESS ENTER AND SAY NO WHEN IT ASKS FOR VIEW ACCESS
Unraid: close the console, edit the template and create a variable with the Key: TURBOVNC_PARAMS and leave the Value empty, click Add and Apply.
All other platforms running Docker: create a environment variable TURBOVNC_PARAMS that is empty or simply leave it empty:
--env 'TURBOVNC_PARAMS='
This Docker was mainly edited for better use with Unraid, if you don't use Unraid you should definitely try it!
