I have tried to play around with dbcache, maxsigcachesize, maxconnections, and rpcthreads. Same error, exactly at ~9% sync.
Expected behaviour
For it to run smoothly without crashing.
Steps to reproduce
On a Raspberry Pi 4, 8GB version.
Add the following docker-compose.yaml:
version: '3'
services:
bitcoind:
build: .
volumes:
- ./bitcoind_data:/root/.bitcoin
restart: always
Put the bitcoin.conf inside ./bitcoind_data relative to where you placed the compose file:
server=1
rpcuser=****************
rpcpassword=****************
[main]
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
rpcport=8332
txindex=1
zmqpubrawblock=tcp://0.0.0.0:28332
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://0.0.0.0:28333
[test]
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
testnet=0
rpcport=18332
zmqpubrawblock=tcp://0.0.0.0:38332
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://0.0.0.0:38333
And the following Dockerfile in .:
FROM debian:trixie-20230814-slim
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y git build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils python3 libevent-dev libboost-dev libsqlite3-dev libzmq3-dev libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools
RUN git clone -b master https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
WORKDIR bitcoin
RUN ./autogen.sh
RUN ./configure
RUN make -j "$(($(nproc)+1))"
RUN make install
RUN apt-get install -y tree
WORKDIR /root
ENTRYPOINT ["bitcoind"]
Then run docker-compose up and wait about 40 mins, until it reaches a point (in my case progress ~0.09, ~250mb cache) and terminates the process.
