bitcoin::package recipe
Configures repository from http://www.ringingliberty.com/bitcoin/ and installs pre-packaged binary with bitcoin systemd service.
You can run a Bitcoin fork/variant like this:
"bitcoin": {
"variant": "unlimited"
}
The valid variants are core, unlimited, abc, xt and btcd.
bitcoin::binary recipe
Downloads the binary and copies it along with an systemd service script.
bitcoin::source recipe
Downloads the release from GitHub and compiles it along with an systemd service script.
Caution: you'll need at least 1 GB of free RAM to compile it (setting make_options to -j1 can help too).
bitcoin::git recipe
Downloads the latest commit from GitHub and compiles it along with an systemd service script.
Caution: this will fetch the HEAD revision and might break without warnings.
