Lightning Store is a project showcasing different techniques for a website leveraging the power of the lightning network for micro payments.

Building

• Java 16
• Node 15.9.0

Environment

Lightning store assumes to run on the same host as LND and bitcoind however both ips and ports can be configured. See the Config class for posible configuration. To run against LND lightning store expects environement variables containing:

• PORT i.e 8080
• LS_HOST_URL i.e localhost
• LS_HOST_PORT i.e 10009
• LS_DATABASE_URL i.e postgresql://localhost:5432
• LS_READONLY_MACAROON base64 encoded
• LS_INVOICES_MACAROON base64 encoded
• LS_TLS_CERT base64 encoded

Running locally

Lighting store can now be run through LocalBootstrap.main(). By default it exects a production like environment with Postgres and LND available, but those can be replaced with embedded postgres and a stub implementation.

Backend:

./gradlew clean jar
java -jar build/libs/app-1.1.jar
