To use bitcoind and bitcoin-cli, you will need to add a RPC password to your bitcoin.conf file. Both programs will read from the same file if both run on the same system as the same user, so any long random password will work.

Code:

rpcpassword=change_this_to_a_long_random_password

Open your bitcoin.conf file with TextEdit and add:
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=Casesensitivepassword
server=1

(set server=1 so the client starts up as a server not just a client).

Dear this is my bitcoin.conf
   server = 1
   rpcallowip = 127.0.0.1
   rpcport = 8332
   rpcuser = myuser
   rpcpass = mypass
   txindex = 1
Is everything ok?  The other thing is do I have to run bitcoind from the command line.  I'm working on version 22 of Bitcoin Core.  Thanks

Its enough for doing rpc calls within your localhost. Additionally, for getting query from external ip you can use "0.0.0.0" in rpcallowip field. Dont use any other ip as everything else maybe insecure.

Yes, bitcoind daemon is controlled through commandline.

To create a Bitcoin RPC username and password, you will need to follow these steps:

Open the configuration file for your Bitcoin node. The location of the configuration file will depend on your operating system and the way you installed Bitcoin. On Windows, the configuration file is usually located at %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\bitcoin.conf. On Linux, it is usually located at ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf.

Add the following lines to the configuration file, replacing username and password with the RPC username and password you want to use:


rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password

Save the configuration file and restart your Bitcoin node. The RPC username and password will now be active and can be used to authenticate RPC requests to your node.
It is important to use a strong and unique password for your RPC password to protect your node from unauthorized access. You should also ensure that your configuration file is secure and only accessible by authorized users.

Yes, you already have RPC credentials apparently. Not very secure ones, though; I hope these are just placeholders.

You could also install Bitcoin-Qt if you prefer a GUI.

It is recommended to avoid rpc password for better security, and go with rpc auth. To use it, comment rpcuser and rpcpassword in your configuration file. Then, get this python script from Bitcoin Core repository: rpcauth.py, and run:

Code:

$  python3 rpcauth.py <username> <password>

(replace the arguments accordingly)

This will return:

Code:

String to be appended to bitcoin.conf:
rpcauth=<username>:<long_number_in_hex>

Then, add the following line to your bitcoin.conf, and restart Core.

Code:

rpcauth=<username>:<long_number_in_hex>

Do not use RPC over the internet. The username and password are sent in cleartext HTTP without any certificate. At the very least, make your own HTTPS endpoint that just forwards the JSONRPC to your own node.
