|
||
* <https://github.com/martin-lizner/trezor-ssh-agent>
|
||
|
||
* paste the generated SSH pubkey to:
|
||
`$ nano /home/joinmarket/.ssh/authorized_keys`
|
||
|
||
### SSH through Tor from Linux
|
||
On a RaspiBlitz
|
||
* since v1.4 there is a script to create a hidden service on your blitz:
|
||
`./config.scripts/internet.hiddenservice.sh ssh 22 22`
|
||
* get the Hidden Service address to connect to with:
|
||
`sudo cat /mnt/hdd/tor/ssh/hostname`
|
||
|
||
On the Debian based Linux Desktop (Ubuntu, Debian, MX Linux etc.)
|
||
* needs Tor running on your desktop:
|
||
`sudo apt install tor`
|
||
* might need to add:
|
||
`sudo apt install torsocks`
|
||
|
||
* edit the Tor config file:
|
||
`sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc`
|
||
* add:
|
||
```
|
||
# Hidden Service for ssh
|
||
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/ssh
|
||
HiddenServiceVersion 3
|
||
HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22
|
||
```
|
||
* Restart Tor:
|
||
`sudo systemctl restart tor`
|
||
* get the Hidden Service address to connect to with:
|
||
`sudo cat /mnt/hdd/tor/ssh/hostname`
|
||
|
||
Use `ssh` with `torify` on the desktop (needs Tor installed):
|
||
`torify ssh admin@HiddenServiceAddress.onion`
|
||
|
||
### Allow Tor to connect to localhost
|
||
|
||
* To solve the error when running `$ torify python yg-privacyenhanced.py wallet.jmdat`
|
||
```
|
||
[INFO] starting yield generator
|
||

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* Edit the `torsocks.conf` and activate the option `AllowOutboundLocalhost 1`:
|
||
`$ sudo nano /etc/tor/torsocks.conf`
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# Set Torsocks to allow outbound connections to the loopback interface.
|
||
# If set to 1, connect() will be allowed to be used to the loopback interface
|
||
# bypassing Tor. If set to 2, in addition to TCP connect(), UDP operations to
|
||
# the loopback interface will also be allowed, bypassing Tor. This option
|
||
# should not be used by most users. (Default: 0)
|
||
AllowOutboundLocalhost 1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* Restart Tor:
|
||
`sudo systemctl restart tor`
|
||
|
||

|
||
* Preparation
|
||
Make sure you have a good & reliable SD card and a proper power supply. Archives can be uncompressed with 7-Zip on Windows, Keka on OS X and 7z on Linux (apt-get install p7zip-full). RAW images can be written with Etcher (all OS).
|
||
|
||
* Boot
|
||
Insert the SD card into the slot, connect a cable to your network if possible or a display and power your board. (First) boot (with DHCP) takes up to 35 seconds with a class 10 SD Card.
|
||
|
||
* Login
|
||
Log in as: root Password: 1234. Then you are prompted to change this password (US-Keyboard setting). When done, you are asked to create a normal user-account for your everyday tasks.
|
||
|
||
* Change the password.
|
||
* Create a new user called `joinmarket` and set the password.
|
||
Keep pressing [ENTER] to use the default user information.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/debian#source
|
||
|
||
### Build the SDcard image
|
||
* Partially based on: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/v1.6/FAQ.md#what-is-the-process-of-creating-a-new-sd-card-image-release
|
||
#### Boot Ubuntu Live from USB: https://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntu-20.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
|
||
* Connect to a secure WiFi (hardware switch on) or LAN
|
||
#### Download,verify and flash the base image to the SDcard
|
||
* Download the base image
|
||
```bash
|
||
wget https://raspi.debian.net/verified/20210210_raspi_4_buster.img.xz
|
||
```
|
||
* Download the PGP signed sha256 hash
|
||
```bash
|
||

||
sha256sum: WARNING: 10 lines are improperly formatted
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* Connect SDcard reader with a 8GB SDcard
|
||
* In the file manager open context on the .img.xz file, select `Open With Disk Image Writer` and write the image to the SDcard.
|
||
#### Prepare the base image
|
||
|
||
* Before the first boot edit the `sysconf.txt` on the `RASPIFIRM` partition to be able to ssh remotely - needs an authorized ssh pubkey.
|
||
* Generate ssk keys on Ubuntu with:
|
||
```bash
|
||
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
|
||
```
|
||
* Copy the ssh pubkey from the Ubuntu image to the `sysconf.txt` the `RASPIFIRM` directory (make sure it is mounted):
|
||
```bash
|
||
echo "root_authorized_key=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" | tee -a /media/ubuntu/RASPIFIRM/sysconf.txt
|
||
```
|
||
* Check with:
|
||
```bash
|
||
cat /media/ubuntu/RASPIFIRM/sysconf.txt
|
||
```
|
||
The `sysconf.txt` will reset after boot and moves the ssh pubkey to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys`
|
||
* Place the SDcard in the RPi, boot up and connect with ssh (use the hostname, `arp -a` or check router))
|
||
```bash
|
||
ssh root@rpi4-20210210
|
||
```
|
||
* Install basic dependencies
|
||
```bash
|
||
apt update
|
||
apt install sudo wget
|
||
```
|
||
#### Install Joininbox
|
||
* Download and run the build script
|
||
```bash
|
||
# download
|
||
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openoms/joininbox/master/build_joininbox.sh
|
||
# inspect the script
|
||
cat build_joininbox.sh
|
||
# run
|
||
sudo bash build_joininbox.sh
|
||
```
|
||
* Monitor/Check outputs for warnings/errors
|
||
#### Prepare the SDcard release
|
||
* Make the SDcard image safe to share by removing unique infos like ssh pubkeys and network identifiers:
|
||
```bash
|
||
/home/joinmarket/standalone/prepare.release.sh
|
||
```
|
||
* Disconnect WiFi/LAN on build laptop (hardware switch off) and shutdown
|
||
* Remove Ubuntu LIVE USB stick and cut power from the RaspberryPi
|
||
#### Sign the image
|
||
* Connect USB stick with [Tails](https://tails.boum.org/) (make it stay offline)
|
||
* Power on the Build Laptop (press F12 for boot menu)
|
||
* Connect USB stick with GPG signing keys - decrypt drive if needed
|
||
* Open Terminal and cd into directory of USB Stick under `/media/amnesia`
|
||
* Run `gpg --import backupkey.gpg`, check and exit
|
||
* Disconnect USB stick with GPG keys
|
||
* Take the SD card from the RaspberryPi and connect with an external SD card reader to the laptop
|
||
* Click on boot volume once in the file manger
|
||
* Connect another USB stick, open in file manager and delete old files
|
||
* Open Terminal and cd into directory of USB stick under `/media/amnesia`
|
||
* Run `lsblk` to check on the SD card device name (ignore last partition number)
|
||
* Clone the SDcard:
|
||
`dd if=/dev/[sdcarddevice] | gzip > joininbox-vX.X.X-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.img.gz`
|
||
* When finished you should see that more than 7GB was copied.
|
||
* Create sha256 hash of the image:
|
||
`sha256sum *.gz > joininbox-vX.X.X-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.img.gz.sha256`
|
||
* Sign the sha256 hash file:
|
||
`gpg --detach-sign --armor *.sha256`
|
||
* Check the files:
|
||
```bash
|
||
ls
|
||
joininbox-vX.X.X-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.img.gz
|
||
joininbox-vX.X.X-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.img.gz.sha256
|
||
joininbox-vX.X.X-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.img.gz.sha256.asc
|
||
```
|
||
* Shutdown the build computer
|
||
* Upload the new image to server - put the .sig file and sha256sum.txt next to it
|
||
* Copy the sha256sum to GitHub README and update the download link
|
||
|
||
### Verify the downloaded the image
|
||
* Import the signing pubkey:
|
||
```bash
|
||
curl https://keybase.io/oms/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import
|
||
```
|
||
* Verify the signature of the sha256 hash:
|
||
```bash
|
||
gpg --verify joininbox-v0.2.0-2021-02-15.img.gz.sha256.asc
|
||
```
|
||
Result (`Good signature`) :
|
||
```

## Wallet recovery
|
||
|
||
JoinMarket docs:
|
||
* https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/blob/master/docs/USAGE.md#portability
|
||
* https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/blob/master/docs/USAGE.md#recover
|
||
|
||
#### on JoininBox
|
||
* Connect the remote bitcoind with `CONFIG` -> `CONNECT` menu so it checks if the connection is successful. It will also set the remote watch-only wallet in bitcoind to "joininbox" so will need to rescan that after recovering an old wallet with previously used addresses.
|
||
|
||
* When using the CLI and connecting to the remote node over Tor, you will need to use the script with the torify prefix like:
|
||
`torify python3 wallet-tool.py --recoversync -g 20 ~/.joinmarket/wallets/wallet.jmdat`
|
||
|
||
#### on the remote node
|
||
|
||
* Use the menu option `WALLET` -> `RESCAN` or follow manually
|
||
* the wallet defined as
|
||
`rpc_wallet =`
|
||
in the joinmarket.cfg is the wallet which is used as watch only in the remote bitcoind.
|
||
You need to run rescanblockchain on that wallet in bitcoind after importing the joinmarket wallet.
|
||
* The wallet is set in the joinmarket.cfg (by default called `joininbox` should show up when you run:
|
||
`bitcoin-cli listwallets`
|
||
|
||
* To rescan on the node run (https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/rpc/rescanblockchain.html?highlight=rescanblockchain):
|
||
`bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=joininbox rescanblockchain 477120`
|
||
Rescanning fom the first SegWit block is sufficient for the default SegWit wallets.
|
||
|
||
* Monitor progress (on a RaspiBlitz):
|
||
`sudo tail -fn 100 /mnt/hdd/bitcoin/debug.log`
|
||
Once the rescan is finished you balances should appear in the `INFO` menu (`wallet-tool.py`)
|
||
## USB SSD recommendation
|
||
|
||
**JoininBox operates on the minimum viable hardware under the assumption that the seed (and passphrase) of the wallets used is safely backed up and can be recovered fully**
|
||
* The above warning is especially true for SDcard as they fail often, use a good quality one.
|
||
* If using an external USB drive I recommend using a Sandisk Extreme Pro 128GB USB SSD:

|
||
* a good alternative is a USB connector and internal SSD as in the [RaspiBlitz shopping list](https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz#package-standard-around-250-usd). Pay attention to choose a compatible SATA-USB adapter since that is a common problem with the Raspberry Pi 4.
|
||
* Cheap USB drives are very likely to fail after weeks of heavy usage: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/924 |
