nix-bitcoin is useful for running up-to-date bitcoin-core.
But sometimes, we need to run old or patched releases in a nix environment.
nix-bitcoin-core-archive provides Nix derivations for:
- old and outdated
bitcoin-corereleases - custom forks
Note: darwin is not yet supported. Derivarions are only tested on Linux.
Just cd into the directory of the chosen version, and then do a nix-build. The build artifacts will be placed at result. For example, if you want to run 0.21.0:
$ cd core/0.21.0
$ nix-build
$ ls result/bin
