🚀 Quickstart

Install Docker (the only dependency) and start eznode with the data directory mounted to /data:

docker run -it --rm --name ez -v ~/eznode:/data jaonoctus/eznode TOR=1 XPUB=<xpub>

This will setup a pruned Bitcoin Core full node, a personal Electrum server tracking your <xpub>, a block explorer and a Tor onion service for secure remote access. All the information you need for accessing them will be shown on startup.

You can skip setting an XPUB if you're not using the Electrum server.

Change ~/eznode if you'd like to store the node's data files elsewhere. On Windows, you can use $env:AppData\eznode to store them in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming. They require ~4.8GB of free space.

On Windows/macOS, you'll need to publish the ports with -p to access them locally.

Set TRUSTED_FASTSYNC=1 to enable the trusted fast-sync mode. You should carefully consider the implications and avoid this if possible.

To enable Specter Desktop, set SPECTER=1.

To experiment on signet, set NETWORK=signet.

Signature verification instructions are available here.

eznode manages services using the (fantastic!) s6 init/supervision system (via s6-overlay). Refer to specter for an example of a simple service package and to the s6 docs for more information on writing services.
