Lightning: Docker node instantly crashes

[agilob]

When I start the command:

docker run \
    -v /home/bitcoin/.lightning:/root/.lightning \
    -v home/bitcoin/.bitcoin:/root/.bitcoin \
    -p 9735:9735 \
    cdecker/lightningd:latest

Docker instance crashes instantly with no logs:

Error grabbing logs: EOF

Both .bitcoin and .lightning folders are created in provided home directory, but they're empty.

Please notice that the docker images are unsupported and aren't even maintained in this repo.

Does the following print something:

sudo docker run \
        -v /tmp/.lightning:/root/.lightning \
        -v /tmp/.bitcoin:/root/.bitcoin \
        -p 9735:9735 \
        cdecker/lightningd:latest lightningd --help

The Dockerfile does not have an entrypoint set, so you'll have to specify lightningd on the command line. Without it it'll start bash but without a TTY attached (-t option after docker) it'll exit immediately again. This is not a crash, but expected behavior.

        -v /tmp/.bitcoin:/root/.bitcoin \
        -p 9735:9735 \
        cdecker/lightningd:latest lightningd --help
docker: Error response from daemon: connection error: desc = "transport: dial unix /var/run/docker/containerd/docker-containerd.sock: connect: connection refused".

docker images are unsupported

Readme in this repo doesn't say it.

aren't even maintained in this repo

Docker image was updated 17 hours ago, but the dockerfile repo 20 days ago, I decided to open issue here.

Thanks for more info, I should be able to start it now

When I start the command:

docker run --rm --name lightning --network container:bitcoind_mainnet -v /scratch/bitcoin/mainnet/bitcoind:/root/.bitcoin -v /scratch/bitcoin/mainnet/clightning:/root/.lightning --entrypoint /usr/bin/lightningd cdecker/lightningd:master --network=bitcoin --rgb=(mycode) --alias=(mynodename) --ipaddr=(myIP) --log-level=debug

It says:

Unable to find image 'cdecker/lightningd:master' locally docker: Error response from daemon: manifest for cdecker/lightningd:master not found. See 'docker run --help'

@drfalcon see #1064 for details. The short answer is that the cdecker/lightningd:master tag was removed in favor of cdecker/lightningd:latest, since the master tag was confusing people.
