Run the Bitcoin Core GUI wallet on a Docker container, accesible via web browser and VNC. Built over the jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui image (debian-9 version).
This image is experimental and might have undesirable effects. Use it under your responsability
docker volume create --name=bitcoin-data
docker run -d --name=bitcoin-core-gui -p 5800:5800 -p 5900:5900 -v bitcoin-data:/config davidlor/bitcoin-core-guiOn the first run the Welcome window opens, where you will be prompted for the data location.
You should set it to somewhere inside /config (by default, is set to /config/.bitcoin)
The Bitcoin Core data directory is set to /config/.bitcoin by default. A volume is created for /config,
but you might want to mount the /config/.bitcoin directory on other volume or a bind mount.
You can even mount sub-directories of the Bitcoin data directory, such as:
/config/.bitcoin/blocksfor the blockchain/config/.bitcoin/wallet.datfor your wallet/config/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conffor the client configuration/config/xdg/config/Bitcoin/Bitcoin-Qt.conffor the frontend (bitcoin-qt) configuration
Please refer to the documentation of the base image for VNC/webui related settings, such as securing the connection and so on.

Automate getting the latest Bitcoin Core version,Download Bitcoin Core from torrent (using aria2) for faster download speed: (0.2.1) Now we build from source (official Github repository) so the latest version is always used.Do not ask for data location on first client start: now we set the HOME directory to /config, so the default data dir is/config/.bitcoin. Is better to keep the Welcome window for the first time the container + volume start.- SquashFS + OverlayFS support for blockchain compression
- Multi-arch support
