LND-BTCD: Easy Deployment Scripts

Scripts to quickly deploy a local LND-BTCD simnet with an open Lightning channel

Related works

The scripts were based or depend upon:

• LND Dockerfiles
• LND Docker guide

Dependencies

• jq for the Bash scripts
• docker-compose 1.9.0 or later
• docker 1.13.0 or later

Setup

./setup.sh

This will download the latest LND docker files and unpack them into the current folder. If you have problems running the script, first change its permissions with chmod +x setup.sh

Deploy

./start-simnet.sh

This will take around 2min to start the all three container, to connect the two LND container, and to setup a Lightning Payment channel between the two. Again, if you have problems running the script, change its permissions with chmod +x start-simnet.sh

Stop

./stop-simnet.sh

This will stop and delete all Docker container. Watch out if you have any other Docker container running!
