Debugging

Things to Check

  • RAM utilization -- bitcoind is very hungry and typically needs in excess of 1GB. A swap file might be necessary.
  • Disk utilization -- The bitcoin blockchain will continue growing and growing and growing. Then it will grow some more. At the time of writing, 40GB+ is necessary.

Viewing bitcoind Logs

docker logs bitcoind-node

Running Bash in Docker Container

Note: This container will be run in the same way as the bitcoind node, but will not connect to already running containers or processes.

docker run -v bitcoind-data:/bitcoin --rm -it kylemanna/bitcoind bash -l

You can also attach bash into running container to debug running bitcoind

docker exec -it bitcoind-node bash -l
