pokowaka / armory-vnc

Docker build for armory and bitcoin, meant for watch-only wallets

armory-vnc

Simple VNC-connectable docker container that uses:

• Ubuntu Core 16.04
• LXDE desktop
• TightVNC server
• Bitcoin 0.14.1
• Armory 0.96

YOU SHOULD STILL SIGN ON AN OFFLINE MACHINE, USE THIS ONLY FOR YOUR WATCH-ONLY WALLET!!

Build

Include password.txt with the password for TightVNC (by default this is "password"). This must be at least 8 characters and is truncated if longer.

Usage

You can build with

(host) $ docker build -t armory-vnc .

Create and start with

(host) $ id
uid=XXXX(YYYY) gid=ZZZZ(YYYY)
(host) $ docker create --name=armory -p 5901:5901 -v <bitcoin dir>:/bitcoin -v <armory dir>:/armory -e PUID=XXXX -e PGID=ZZZZ armory-vnc
(host) $ docker start armory

You can connect to the vnc server using at SERVER_NAME:5901 using the password from password.txt (default is "password") where SERVER_NAME is the docker container host's name or IP.

Within the container, you can start up armory as normal.

(container) $ armory
