docker run bitcoin testnet3 and signet doesn't work well

[gitzhou]

run esplora via docker:

1. build the docker image first on server according to https://github.com/Blockstream/esplora?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-build-the-docker-image

2. run testnet3 according to https://github.com/Blockstream/esplora?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-run-the-explorer-for-bitcoin-testnet3

bitcoind can sync up blocks normally, yet the backend service is not started.

check nginx config in the container:

ls under /var:

/var/electrs-rest.sock does not exist

check electrs logs:

it keeps printing the same log without errors after syncing all the blocks.

--

try to run bitcoin signet, the phenomenon is the same as testnet3

--

try to run bitcoin regtest, everything works well.

check regtest electrs logs:

it has 2 lines of output that say the rest service is up, once the blocks are synced, whereas testnet3 and signet don't have this kind of log.

please check
