I am successfully running a local electrum server, getting its data from dojo. This is useful for private use of hardware wallets.

Step 1: As Laurent MT suggested in the Samourai telegram group, you need to edit the docker-compose.yaml file, adding to the bitcoind section the following two lines

ports:
  - "127.0.0.1:28256:28256"
  
Step 2: Follow install directions for electrs, an electrum server written in rust.
electrs install directions can be found here: https://github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/doc/usage.md

For those who cannot afford a hardware wallet, the next best thing is to use Electrum 
to create a 2-of-2 multisig wallet with one key on your phone and one on your desktop.

To use, create the transaction on your desktop client, and then display the QR code 
for the partially signed transaction.  Scan the QR code in your phone's Electrum,
sign it, and broadcast with a few taps.

Given the added difficulty of a hacker accessing both your desktop and your phone,
you get significantly better security and the process of using the wallet remains 
relatively straightforward.
