bitcoin-full-node-with-docker's Issues

Thanks!

Hi,

Just wanted to create an issue to thank you for this repo! This is exactly what I'm looking for. The code is neat and tight as well, with solid documentation. Awesome work!

Beware, default passwords in configuration files

In the instructions and readme, are no comments regarding the configured credentials. It's advised to let new users change these with their own passwords. I'm receiving my hardware in a few weeks, will update this issue with a PR to easily update this for other new users.

There appears to be a constraint on the owner id number of the torrc.default file not reflected in the instructions

Excellent explanations and instructions - thank you!
This is the first comprehensive guide that allowed me to successfully set up nodes on Docker using Tor.
I successfully set up nodes on a Synology NAS with external SSD.

One small issue with the Tor instructions:-
I found that it was not enough to have a common group id number between the torrc.default file and the Tor container.
I could only make the Tor container run correctly if the user id numbers also matched.
Suggest small update to instructions to reflect this assuming the sensitivity more widespread than just my experience.
(After finding this Tor sensitivity, rather than tinker with the other services, I just edited to use common group id number AND user id number for all containers with the userid number passed in as a parameter just as the group id number is in your version. While this may not have been necessary for all containers, it did not hurt and allowed for greater consistency)
