Bcoin on Docker

Start up a bcoin node quickly using Docker. Pulls latest bcoin version from github and starts full node.

By default, persists data in user home directory at ~/.bcoin.

How To Use

Copy sample configurations to secrets/ directory:

Important: Be sure to keep API secrets safe.

$ mkdir -p secrets
$ cp bcoin.example.conf secrets/bcoin.conf
$ cp wallet.example.conf secrets/wallet.conf

Create bcoin network:

$ docker network create bcoin

Create nginx-proxy network:

$ docker network create nginx-proxy

Quick run, node only:

$ docker-compose up -d bcoin

Update to latest bcoin version:

$ docker-compose build --pull bcoin

HTTPS

Includes optional nginx wrapper for https. Add domain certs to secrets/certs/.

Update docker-compose VIRUAL_HOST domain setting.

See https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy for more options.

Wallet HTTP

Note that Wallet and Node API servers are on separate ports. With the default docker-compose.yml configuration, Wallet API is accessible via bcoin.yourdomain.org:8334/wallet, while node endpoints are accessed through default HTTP/HTTPS ports.

Provided is a simple example of an nginx proxy to allow wallet API to be accessible on a separate domain, in order to make it unnecessary to specify wallet port.

See docker-compose.wallet.yml. (Not required to actually use wallet API)

Building

By default, docker-compose will use image pulled from purse/bcoin:latest, but you can build one yourself.

Latest is hard coded into Makefile and will need updates overtime, but you can manually pass VERSION variable to override current version.

Examples

Build v1.0.2:

• make - Same as build
• make build - Currently hard coded latest.
• make latest - this will tag image as latest.
• VERSION=v1.0.2 make build
