| 1- Create two different docker containers (there are bitcoin.conf examples below) `bitcoind-regtest-01` and `bitcoind-regtest-02` | |
| pointing to different data folders (The regtest network will only work with at least 2 nodes). | |
| - `bitcoind -conf=/path/to/bitcoind-regtest-01/bitcoin.conf -datadir=/path/to/bitcoind-regtest-01/data/folder -daemon` | |
| - `bitcoind -conf=/path/to/bitcoind-regtest-02/bitcoin.conf -datadir=/path/to/bitcoind-regtest-02/data/folder -daemon` | |
| 2- Create a docker network with the 2 containers | |
| - `docker network create bitcoind-regtest-network` | |
| - `docker network connect bitcoind-regtest-network bitcoind-regtest-01` | |
| - `docker network connect bitcoind-regtest-network bitcoind-regtest-02` | |
| 3- Get the ip address of the `bitcoind-regtest-01` container in the network and change the `bitcoind-regtest-02` `bitcoin.conf` | |
| accordingly (since the `bitcoind-regtest-02` node should be connecting to `bitcoind-regtest-01`). If this step is not done | |
| the `getblocktemplate` method will not work. | |
| - `docker network inspect bitcoind-regtest-network` | |
| 4- Start the containers, observe the logs and check if there are no connection problems there | |
| 5- From the host machine export the RPC user and password for testing purposes: | |
| `export RPC_USER_PASS="<rpc user>:<rpc password>"` | |
| 6- Check if it is working: | |
| 7- TODO Complete the documentation |
