Finally, a way to test your bitcoin applications using a Bitcoin Regtest network for temporary use. All you have to do is start this docker image, and connect your application to the Insight API endpoint! I've also created a Litecoin Regtest Docker image if that something you needed.
Start in Docker: docker run -it -p 3001:3001 hunterlong/btcregtest-insight:latest
Get BTC Balance for address: http://localhost:3001/api/addr/mnJQyeDFmGjNoxyxKQC6MMFdpx77rYV3Bo/balance
I recommend reviewing the Insight API Documentation so you can use all the features of this image.
This Docker image will start a Bitcoin Regtest Server with the Insight API so you can fetch UTXO's balances, and everything else. This Docker image is for developers who want to test their Bitcoin applications without waiting for transactions to be confirmed on the real BTC testnet3 blockchain.
The wallets below have a couple BTC in them so you can begin testing quickly! New blocks are mined automatically every 5 seconds!
The private keys are based on a mnemonic phrase by default. For ease of use, use these private keys while interacting with your application.

To use this with Travis, you'll need to add a couple things to your .travis.yml file. insight-api-tester is a basic application that uses this for testing.
sudo: required
notifications:
email: false
services:
- docker
before_install:
- docker run -it -d -p 3001:3001 hunterlong/btctest-insight:latest
script:
- sleep 30 # give some time for BTC server to start.
- npm test # your test command for app, API endpoint will be at http://localhost:3001/api
You are probably working on a Bitcoin application and you might be doing automated testing on Travis-CI, Drone, etc. Using this image will allow your testing to fully test the blockchain transaction features of your application. You would use the addresses and private keys above for testing transactions in your tests.
