Bitwyre's Litecoin Container

Runs the Litecoin Core litecoind full-node in a container.

Use Environment Variables to Configure Litecoind

If there is no litecoin.conf file in (/litecoin), a new litecoin.conf will be created based on the Environment Variables supplied to the container.

By default, wallet is disabled and litecoind runs on testnet.

The following variables are configureable:

• TESTNET: Defaults to 1, which will run litecoind on testnet. Set to 0 to run on mainnet.
• ENABLE_WALLET: Defaults to 0, set to 1 to enable the wallet and the litecoind daemon will create one.
• GEN: Defaults to 0, set to 1 to attempt to generate litecoins (mining).
• PRUNE: Defaults to 0. Reduce storage requirements by enabling pruning (deleting) of old blocks. Set to 1 to allow manual pruning via RPC. Set to an integer value to automatically prune block files to keep the stored block size under the specified value in MiB.
• MAX_CONNECTIONS: When set (should be an integer), it overrides the max connections value.
• RPC_SERVER: Defaults to 0, set to 1 to enable the JSON RPC server on port 9332. If no RPC_USER is given, the user will be set to litecoinrpc and if no RPC_PASSWORD is given a random password will be generated. On run, the configuration file will be printed by the container and the password can be read from the logs.
  • RPC_USER: Sets the username for the JSON RPC server.
  • RPC_PASSWORD: Sets the password for the JSON RPC server.
