Installation

Objective: install a full BitcoinSV node using docker

Install Docker via Homebrew (Mac)

brew cask install docker

Install docker for Mac

1) Open the docker application for your applications folder

Login to docker

docker login

Install Bitcoin SV Node

(Optional) Start with this repository as an example project

git clone git@github.com:mrz1836/docker-bitcoinsv.git
cd ~/docker-bitcoinsv

1) Create a bsvd-data volume to persist the bsvd blockchain data, should exit immediately. The bsvd-data container will store the blockchain when the node container is recreated (software upgrade, reboot, etc.):

docker volume create --name=bsvd-data

Confirm the volume exists

docker volume ls

DRIVER              VOLUME NAME
local               bsvd-data

2) Build the docker image

docker build --tag=bsv-node-image .

Confirm the image exists

docker image ls -a

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
bsv-node-image      latest              bea2961dbc29        47 seconds ago      112MB

3) Run the docker image

docker run -v bsvd-data:/bitcoinsv --name=bsvd-node-server -d \
      -p 8333:8333 \
      -p 8332:8332 \
      bsv-node-image:latest

Check that the container exists

docker container ls -a

Connect to the docker instance

docker exec -it bsvd-node-server /bin/bash

Test: Are there are node connections?

root@zfr2961dbc55:~# bitcoin-cli getconnectioncount

Test: Is there blockchain info?

root@zfr2961dbc55:~# bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo
