README says reth is the default client but docker-compose.yml defaults to geth #1010

Description

@Sertug17

Hey, noticed an inconsistency between the README and docker-compose.yml.

README says:

reth (default)

But docker-compose.yml has:

dockerfile: ${CLIENT:-geth}/Dockerfile

So if you run docker compose up without setting CLIENT, you actually get geth, not reth.

Should either the README be updated to reflect geth as default, or the docker-compose.yml changed to default to reth?

    Friendly bump this PR has been open for 2 weeks with the fix ready (2-line change, README ↔ docker compose.yml consistency). Noticed #1034 was just opened for the same issue, but happy to keep this one going since it's been waiting for review. Rebasing now if needed.

    Glad this landed in #1035 same fix, slightly better default approach via .env. Closing the loop here.
