Requirements

October 21, 2025 · View on GitHub

  • Docker >= 20.10.12
  • docker compose >= 2.2.2
  • git
  • jq binary
  • sed
  • Host with a minimum of:
    • 4GB memory
    • 1 Vcpu (2 Vcpu is recommended)
    • 150GB storage (250GB or more if downloading a chainstate archive)

⚠️ The way Docker for Mac on an M1 (Arm) chip is designed makes the I/O incredibly slow, and blockchains are very heavy on I/O.
This only seems to affect MacOS, other Arm based systems like Raspberry Pi seem to work fine.
