This directory contains the Dockerfiles used to build and release the official images and a `docker-compose.yml` file that is intended for end users to run a Mempool instance with minimal effort.
## Basic setup
## bitcoind only configuration
To run an instance with the default settings, use the following command:

The default configuration will allow you to run Mempool using `bitcoind` as the backend, so address lookups will be disabled.
The default configuration will allow you to run Mempool using `bitcoind` as the backend, so address lookups will be disabled. It assumes you have added RPC credentials for the `mempool` user with a `mempool` password in your `bitcoin.conf` file:
```
rpcuser=mempool
rpcpassword=mempool
```
If you want to use your current credentials, update them in the `docker-compose.yml` file:
```
api:
environment:
MEMPOOL_BACKEND: "none"
RPC_HOST: "172.27.0.1"
RPC_PORT: "8332"
RPC_USER: "mempool"
RPC_PASS: "mempool"
```
Note: the IP in the example above refers to Docker's default gateway IP address so the container can hit the `bitcoind` instance running on the host machine. If your setup is different, update it accordingly.
You can check if the instance is running by visiting http://localhost - the graphs will be populated as new transactions are detected.
## Advanced setup
## bitcoind+romanz/electrs configuration
In order to run with electrum/electrs as the backend you will need to make the following changes to the `docker-compose.yml` file:
In order to run with `romanz/electrs` as the backend , in addition to the settings required for `bitcoind` above, you will need to make the following changes to the `docker-compose.yml` file:
- Under the `api` service, change the value of `MEMPOOL_BACKEND` key from `none` to `electrum`:
