sublivion/gridcoinwalletgui repository overview

⁠Gridcoin Wallet with gui

This is a Gridcoin wallet gui inside a docker (Ubuntu 22.04 with xfce).

This image is based on https://github.com/ConSol/docker-headless-vnc-container⁠

Desktop background image from (also more info about Gridcoin here): https://gridcoin.us/⁠

This docker works fine with BOINC too, just install separate BOINC docker container and mount BOINC data folder to /var/lib/boinc-client/. Then wallet can read your cpid etc just fine.

⁠Remember to backup your wallet.dat and gridcoinresearch.conf files regularly!

⁠To Install

docker pull sublivion/gridcoinwalletgui

⁠To Run

docker run -d --name gridcoinwalletgui  -p 5901:5901 -p 6901:6901 -v <YourPersistentDataLocation>:/headless/.GridcoinResearch/ sublivion/gridcoinwalletgui

port 5901 is vnc and 6901 is novnc. You can remove the unused one if you want.
