For anyone interested, I managed to get the full node running 1.3.1.20 in a Docker container and it's showing up on https://nycoin.community/nodes. Once the blockchain is downloaded and I can confirm it's working, I'll post my instructions.

I'm looking into setting up a NewYorkCoin full node on my Docker server. If anyone has any ideas or a dockerfile they could share, that'd be great. I did find hashingcom/newyorkcoind on DockerHub but all it doesn't want to run even with a proper conf file.

Thanks!
