4 years ago My advice would be to follow the setup doc.
When you reach the step "Dojo provides a few additional settings for advanced setups", follow the instructions given in the "External Bitcoin full node" section of the Advanced Setups doc. Skip the last part ("Fast import of block headers in Dojo").
Then come back to the first doc and complete the last steps of the install procedure.
From my observations, the main issues met by users when trying to connect their Dojo to an external full node are:
- networking issues (a firewall blocks some ports, preventing the communcation between Dojo and the external full node)
- misconfiguration of bitcoind (rpcallowip doesn't allow connections from the NodeJs container, rpcbind doesn't expose the RPC API to a port accessible from the NodeJs container, etc)
- misconfiguration of the external bitcoind in Dojo (parameters set in docker-bitcoind.conf.tpl).
Describe the issue A clear and concise description of what the issue is.
Maybe there's already Docs on this and I'm blind, but... I already have a full node on my laptop. How can I install of Dojo and use my existing full node/blockchain rather than a new Bitcoin install and IBD inside docker?? I'm not too familiar with Docker, except that I used it to set up BTCPayServer.

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here. I'm on Windows 10 (with Docker), but have the Ubuntu subsystem available. Not sure how much that will complicate things.
