lnd for Docker

Docker image that runs lnd in a container for easy deployment.

The image contains the latest lnd daemon and lndconnect.

Quick Start

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

   docker volume create --name=lnd-data
   docker run -v lnd-data:/lnd --name=lnd-node -d \
       -p 9735:9735 \
       -p 10009:10009 \
       lnzap/lnd:latest \
       --bitcoin.active \
       --bitcoin.testnet \
       --debuglevel=info \
       --bitcoin.node=neutrino \
       --neutrino.connect=testnet1-btcd.zaphq.io \
       --neutrino.connect=testnet2-btcd.zaphq.io \
       --autopilot.active \
       --rpclisten=0.0.0.0:10009
   

2. Verify that the container is running and lnd node is downloading the blockchain

   $ docker ps
   CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                              NAMES
   d0e1076b2dca        lnzap/lnd:latest            "lnd_oneshot"       2 seconds ago       Up 1 seconds        0.0.0.0:9735->9735/tcp, 0.0.0.0:10009->10009/tcp   lnd-node
   

3. You can then access the daemon's output thanks to the docker logs command

   docker logs -f lnd-node
   

4. Install optional init scripts for upstart and systemd are in the init directory.
