I have a bitcoin.conf. It looks like this:

testnet=1
server=1
rpcuser=Ulysseys
rpcpassword=YourrrPassword
rpctimeout=30
rpcport=8332

Now I try to run a container from this image:

Create volume:

$ docker volume create --name=bitcoind-data

Create container:

docker run -v bitcoind-data:/bitcoin --name=bitcoind-node -d \
        -p 8333:8333 \
        -p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332 \
        -v /path/to/bitcoin.conf:/bitcoin/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf \
        kylemanna/bitcoind -testnet

I go inside my container and check with bitcoin-cli getinfo:

{
  "version": 140200,
  "protocolversion": 70015,
  "walletversion": 130000,
  "balance": 0.00000000,
  "blocks": 0,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": 0,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 1,
  "testnet": true,
  "keypoololdest": 1503649077,
  "keypoolsize": 100,
  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "errors": ""
}

Testnet=true so that's okay but I don't see any log of data (docker logs container-name). Also my docker volume is still 17MB and 0 blocks.

What am I doing wrong?

When I load my bitcoin.conf in my bitcoin-qt on macosx it becomes green but remains on 'pending' to get the blockchain.

Is there something wrong with my config or is it maybe blocked on my network?
