Overview

This Puppet module installs and configures the bitcoind daemon, and can optionally install the bitcoin-qt GUI - though this will disable the service/daemon.

Puppet 3 Support

Please note that the master branch of this module does not support Puppet 3!

On 31st December 2016, support for Puppet 3.x was withdrawn. As such, this module no longer supports Puppet 3, and is actively being migrated to Puppet 4 syntax.

If you require Puppet 3 compatibility, please use version 2.0.2 from the Puppet Forge, or the puppet3 branch in Git.

Using Alternative Repositories

This module can handle the installation of the Bitcoin daemon from any Ubuntu PPA repository. To use a third-party repository (e.g. Bitcoin Classic or UASF), simply set the ppa_name and package_name parameters - the default is to install Bitcoin Core from the official PPA.

Module Description

  • Adds the requested PPA (see above) and installs bitcoind
  • Creates a (configurable) system user and group
  • Places an Upstart init script (Systemd in Ubuntu 16.04 and later)
  • Configures the bitcoin.conf configuration file
  • Enables and starts the bitcoind daemon/service

Setup

Beginning with puppet-bitcoind

To accept default class parameters (correct in most situations):

include bitcoind

Usage

To use the an alternative Ubuntu PPA repository, specify an RPC user/password and disable wallet functionality:

class { 'bitcoind':
  disablewallet => true,
  rpcallowip    => ['123.456.789.100'],
  rpcuser       => 'oliver'
  rpcpassword   => 'youvegottopickapocketortwo',
  ppa_name      => 'luke-jr/bitcoin-core-bip148-unofficial-builds',
  package_name  => 'bitcoin',
}
