sphinx-stack

Full stack Sphinx cluster, including:

• bitcoind
• LND
• relay
• sphinx-tribes
• sphinx-memes
• sphinx-auth
• sphinx-mqtt

run

Open a terminal inside the root directory of this repository. Then:

docker-compose pull

docker-compose up -d

stop

docker-compose down

Running docker-compose down instead of sending a SIGINT or SIGTERM is very important! Otherwise bitcoind will not finish writing to its database, and on the next run LND will crash with a block index mismatch.

You can also run with Docker Desktop and just use the "play" and "stop" buttons (and view the logs from each container).

develop

• Run one of the sphinx clients on your local computer, and enter the exported_keys that you can find in /relay/NODES.json (make sure to copy the trailing = equal signs if there are any!)
• the easiest client to get up and running is (Sphinx Desktop)[https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-win-linux-desktop]

troubleshooting

There's lots of moving pieces! On a slower computer (or an M1 mac), do export COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=120 first
