🍹 💰 ⚡️ Run a Lightning Network Point-of-Sale

Lemonade Stand - Bitcoin w/Lightning

Thanks to ElementsProject and the Bitcoin Team for outstanding original work -

• Lightning-Charge

• Lightning-Charge-Client-JS

• NanoPOS

Quick Setup

Sign up to DigitalOcean

Create your Docker droplet, selecting 'NYC 1' and adding an additional 250GB volume for the Bitcoin blockchain data.

Next, create your SSH keys to connect with:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]" -f $HOME/.ssh/lemonade1 && ssh-keygen -y -f $HOME/.ssh/lemonade > $HOME/.ssh/lemonade.pub

(On Windows, you will need Git Bash installed for this to work.)

Type the output, your SSH public key, into Digital Ocean where prompted.

Connect to your Droplet (server) using their instructions.

You are now ready for the setup scripts:

git clone https://github.com/ch4ot1c/lemonade-stand-lightning && cd lemonade-stand-lightning

1. First, make sure you are SSH'd into your DigitalOcean Droplet. The prompt should say root@myDigitalOceanDropletName:~#.

2. ./setup_volume_digitalocean.sh. The remote machine will reboot; reconnect.

3. ./setup.sh myDesiredSecretApiTokenDoNotUseThis.

Finally, to start both Lightning-Charge and Nanopos:

./run.sh

You will see two text strings, which represent your Lightning-Charge and Nanopos docker instances, respectively. You can run docker logs textString to see more.

The blockchain will need to fully sync before Lightning can accept transactions, which can take a while.

You can access the Point-of-Sale on any web-enabled device:

http://myDigitalOceanIPAddress:9116

You can also view the Lightning-Charge invoice server:

http://api-token:mySecretApiToken@myDigitalOceanIPAddress:9112/info

To stop both (all) Docker instances:

docker stop $(docker ps -aq)
