Our container is now built and ready to run. The Eclair container also depends on a running instance of Bitcoin Core. As before, we need to start the bitcoind container in another terminal and connect Eclair to it via a Docker network. We have already set up a Docker network called +lnbook+ and will be reusing it here.

One notable difference between Eclair and LND or c-lightning is that Eclair doesn't contain a separate bitcoin wallet but instead relies directly on the bitcoin wallet in Bitcoin Core. Recall that using LND we "funded" its bitcoin wallet by executing a transaction to transfer bitcoin from Bitcoin Core's wallet to LND's bitcoin wallet. This step is not necessary using Eclair. When running Eclair, the Bitcoin Core wallet is used directly as the source of funds to open channels. As a result, unlike the LND or c-lightning containers, the Eclair container does not contain a script to transfer bitcoin into its wallet on startup.
