This Docker image runs a fully validating Bitcoin Core (bitcoind) node, tailored for deployment on Synology NAS devices like the DS1019+ (tested with 16GB RAM and 2TB NVMe) or similar setups. It’s designed for solo-mining stacks but works just as well for full node operators, Electrum server backends, or anyone who wants a stable, secure, and efficient Bitcoin node.
