RTL/docker

RTL Docker Dev Setup

This is not suitable for production deployments. ONLY FOR DEVELOPMENT.

This docker-compose template launches bitcoind, lnd and rtl containers.

It is configured to run in regtest mode but can be modified to suit your needs.

Notes

• bitcoind is built from an Ubuntu repository and should not be used in production.
• lnd will not sync to chain until Bitcoin regtest blocks are generated (see below).
• rtl image is from the Docker Hub repository but you can change this to your needs.
• Various ports and configs can be adjusted in the .env or docker-compose.yml files.

How to run

It may take several minutes if containers need to be built. From the terminal in this folder:

$ docker-compose up -d bitcoind
$ bin/b-cli generate 101
$ docker-compose up -d lnd rtl

Check containers are up and running with:

$ docker-compose ps

Use the cli tools to get responses from the containers:

$ bin/ln-cli getinfo
$ bin/b-cli getblockchaininfo

View daemon logs as follows:

$ docker-compose logs bitcoind lnd rtl

Once the containers are running you can access the RTL UI at http://localhost:3000

• Default password is changeme.
• Default host, port and password can be changed in .env.

When you are done you can destroy containers with:

$ docker-compose down -v
