Bitcoin Core v0.2.4

comments about the image

style break

versions v0.2.0 till v0.2.6 are completely different from the other versions (and images). It seems like these very old versions don’t have a headless daemon… You HAVE to run a gui… Which is great fun inside a docker container (sarcasm).
Because this requirement, i was no longer able to package this version inside a neat, safe, small minimal container, but i had to use a much larger base image instead (so, it has more attack vectors and a bigger size). Because i’m jumping from windows to linux, the wxwidgets gui looks like crap on my pc… I really hope you guys have more luck than i did!!!

What i did to get this stuff running:

#on my docker host (not inside the container)
xauth list
#i then copied all the magic cookies... each line contains one magic cookie, corresponding to one screen!!!
#i then started my container
docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --network=host --entrypoint /bin/bash -it mocacinno/btc_core:v2.4
#inside my container, i tried each magic cookie combined with each screen... So for example this was one of my tries:
export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
xauth add myhostname/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 randomstring_copied_from_first_step
bitcoin
#then i tried the second magic cookie
export DISPLAY=localhost:11.0
xauth add myhostname/unix:11 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 randomstring_copied_from_first_step
bitcoin

options

extra info

This is NOT a multistage build due to the fact the gui needs much more than a minimal base image

Previous version: v0.2.3 Next version: v0.2.5
