To finally end the discussion what Dockerfile should be used for what
and whether we should build from local source or check out from git, we
place both Dockerfiles next to each other and explicitly document their
purpose.
There was a recent change merged into btcd that isn't backward
compatible with older RPC clients. To make sure our docker quick
start example still works, we need to pin down btcd to the version
that is still compatible with lnd.
This instruction did not get updated when the docker-compose file removed the `alice` service. This changes makes it work and is consistent with the previous instructions.
Now that the official releases are built with subservers, can/should we build docker images with subservers by default too?
This one-line change is all I needed to do to build LND with subservers so loop would work with the docker image.
Currently, changing the source code causes the docker layer cache to break the caching of package installation (make, git, etc).
If we execute the source COPY command as an individual command, then rebuilds of the container will be much quicker.
It is better to replace bash shell with potentially long-running
last script command. This way the running command will receive all
potential unix process signals directly.
A concrete example which motivated this change:
Exec of btcd is needed for graceful shutdown of btcd during
`docker-compose down`. Docker Compose properly sends this signal to our
start-btcd.sh bash shell but it is not further signalled to the running
btcd process. Docker Compose then kills whole container forcefully after
some timeout.
An alternative solution would be to trap SIGTERM in our bash script and
forward it to running btcd. Which would be IMO ugly and error prone.
`lncli` command `walletbalance` apparently no longer supports the `--witness_only` argument. With the deprecated argument:
```
root@8a9ad8528430:/go/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd# lncli walletbalance --witness_only=true
Incorrect Usage: flag provided but not defined: -witness_only
NAME:
lncli walletbalance - Compute and display the wallet's current balance
USAGE:
lncli walletbalance [arguments...]
[lncli] flag provided but not defined: -witness_only
```
After removing that argument:
```
root@8a9ad8528430:/go/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd# lncli walletbalance
{
"total_balance": "1505000000000",
"confirmed_balance": "1505000000000",
"unconfirmed_balance": "0"
}
```
* Update go version for Docker `lnd` build
Per #815, https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/htlcswitch/circuit.go#L21 depends on go version >= 1.9
Before this change:
```
Building lnd
