Running Umbrel in a docker container
1632 sats \ 1 comment \ @Turnspit_Dog 10 Jan lightning
The other day I asked What is easiest way to start with Lightning as an end user?
Since I already had a RPi4 at home with 4TB of storage on it, and a 2 Gbps fiber connection, figured I would give this a try - https://gitlab.com/shrugal/umbrel-docker/
You will need to edit the install.sh and run.sh to point to your external HD INSTALL_PATH=${INSTALL_PATH:-/yourExtHD/data}, but other than that, things appear to be working fine. I'm currently syncing the blockchain.
The reason I wanted to run this in Docker is that my RPi has a clean minimal install and already has a few containerized applications, and I wanted to maintain a clean environment without having to install a bunch of dependencies and leave a bunch of cruft on it. The good news is that I already have Wireguard and Tailscale running in my network, so I should be able to point my wallets and mobile wallets to this if/once I have it all up and running.
And if I find that I don't want to mess with this, being containerized, I just chuck it in the trash. (docker rm Umbrel)
Passing it along for those that might want to try Umbrel, without committing to fully installing Umbrel.

FYI... since you are using nested docker containers, networking is just a tad borked....
Add:
# [rpc]

# Accept command line and JSON-RPC commands.
server=1

# Bind to all interfaces to listen for JSON-RPC connections.
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcallowip=localnetwork/24
to /data/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf and all the sudden.... Boom!
curl -v  --user umbrel --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getblockchaininfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://localnetwork:8332/
