maltokyo/bisq

(Forked and adapted for Bisq from the awesome linuxsever/calibre)

Supported Architectures

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	latest

Application Setup

This image sets up the BISQ desktop app and makes its interface available via Guacamole server in the browser. The interface is available at http://your-ip:8080.

By default, there is no password set for the main gui. Optional environment variable PASSWORD will allow setting a password for the user abc.

Port 8081 is reserved for BISQ's built-in webserver, which can be enabled within the desktop app settings, and the internal port must be set to 8081 although it will then be available at the host mapped port for external access.

You can access advanced features of the Guacamole remote desktop using ctrl+alt+shift enabling you to use remote copy/paste and different languages.

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker-compose (recommended)

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas - see sample file included, copy and make your own.

docker cli (might be outdated, check the docker-compose.yml file for latest variables etc)

docker run -d \
  --name=BISQ \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e PASSWORD= `#optional` \
  -e CLI_ARGS= `#optional` \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -p 8081:8081 \
  -v /path/to/data:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/linuxserver/BISQ

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
-p 8080	BISQ desktop gui.
-e PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Europe/London	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.
-e PASSWORD=	Optionally set a password for the gui.
-e CLI_ARGS=	Optionally pass cli start arguments to BISQ.
-v /config	Where BISQ should store its database and library.

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
