This is a sample docker-compose to show how to host a mainnet full-node and exposing RPC via HTTPS via a reverse proxy and let's encrypt.
- Configure your DNS record to point the domain to the server
- Set the environment variables.
- Run
docker-compose up -d
Environment variables:
BITCOIN_HOST: The domain name of this server. (required)LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: Email for let's encrypt (optional)NETWORK: The bitcoin network (Available: mainnet,testnet,regtest,signet. Default: mainnet)REVERSEPROXY_HTTPS_PORT: The port to listen to (Default 443)RPC_AUTH: The RPC auth string of bitcoin core for configuring username/password
Example:
rm -f .env
# Setup rpc user/password
RPC_USER="testuser"
RPC_PASS="testpass"
# Setup the domain name
BITCOIN_HOST="my.sampledomain.com"
NETWORK="mainnet"
echo "RPC_AUTH=$(./rpcauth.py $RPC_USER $RPC_PASS | grep rpcauth)" >> .env
echo "BITCOIN_HOST=$BITCOIN_HOST" >> .env
echo "NETWORK=$NETWORK" >> .env
docker-compose up -dYou can also use a .env file in this folder.
This should expose P2P traffic on 8333, and RPC traffic on port 443.
You can use RPC of the node via the bitcoin-cli.sh script.
./bitcoin-cli.sh getblockchaininfo
