A Full Regtest Setup Available on Command

The goal of this project is to provide bitcoin software developers a simple and powerful regtest setup ready to go, easy to power up and down in a few seconds. For a quick overview of how the setup works once its enabled, check out this YouTube video.

Once up, the Podman container offers:

  • A full bitcoin core node in daemon mode
  • An Electrum server ready to connect to
  • An Esplora server ready to connect to
  • A simple block explorer
  • The node has compact block filter enabled
  • Awesome just commands to get stuff done


Here are examples of what you can do from your command line once the container is up and running:

# Send coins
just sendto <address>

# Mine any number of blocks
just mine 21

# See logs for different services
just bitcoindlogs
