• Having your data directory in a named location will allow persistence between containers.

mkdir -p ~/.zcash.testnet

cat >~/.zcash.testnet/zcash.conf <<EOF
addnode=testnet.z.cash
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=$(head -c 32 /dev/urandom | base64)
gen=0
genproclimit=$(lscpu | sed -n '/^Core/p' | awk '{print $4}')
equihashsolver=tromp
EOF

docker run -t -d --name zcashd_testnet \
  -v ${HOME}/.zcash.testnet:/home/zcash/.zcash.testnet \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  --user=$(id -u):$(id -g) \
