This document is currently a scratchpad for developer setup and temporary hacks to run the project. It will be made more user-friendly in the future

Setup

Create certificate for browser to backend proxy communication

openssl genrsa -out proxy.key 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -key proxy.key -out proxy.cert -days 365

Development

Requirements: Go, protoc, nodejs

• Start your LND node
• Manually update macaroon hex in main.go buildGrpcProxyServer func
• Start backend server

  go run . --backend_addr=localhost:10001 --server_tls_cert_file=./proxy.cert --server_tls_key_file=./proxy.key --backend_tls=true --backend_tls_noverify=true
  

Replace localhost:10001 with the host:port of the LND node RPC

• Run the client app in a separate terminal

  cd app
  yarn
  yarn start
  

Open browser at https://localhost:3000 and accept invalid cert (may not work in Chrome, use Firefox)
