Running a bitcoind docker

0

Thanks to the bitcoin.stack community I have successfully launched a bitcoind docker with an external volume which has the block data

Currently its in 100% sync but I am facing an issue to get information using bitcoin-cli I need to run bitcoind -reindex and then add txindex=1 into bitcoin.conf

As I pulled the docker image from docker hub I do not have any control over its docker file and I have 140GB+ blockchain data that I do not wanna discard and start over

How do I run --reindex on a bitcoin docker container ?

I was mistaken It was a mistake thinking docker is kind of VM do not run docker bitcoin images if you are planing to extend and develop application, switched to LXC/LXDf4r4 2018-02-27T09:23:03.640

Well if you use volume you discard nothing. Next restart will reuse your volume.
