GKE

The following directions will walk you through creating a Bitcoin SV node within GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine).

If you wish to run another version of bitcoind, just change the image reference in bitcoin-deployment.yml.

Steps:

1 - Add a new blank disk on GCE called bitcoin-data that is 200GB. You can always expand it later.
2 - Save the following code snippets and place them in a new directory kube.
3 - Change the rpcuser and rpcpass values in bitcoin-secrets.yml. They are base64 encoded. To base64 a string, just run echo -n SOMESTRING | base64.
4 - Run kubectl create -f /path/to/kube
5 - Profit!
