Bitcoiners.best

Building

This repo has been prepared to be ran with Docker. It has been tested on MacOS 10.15.

A script has been prepared to run the docker commands as follows:

bash docker.sh build

This command will build three docker containers:

• rails server
• postgresql server
• redis server

Backend services

A backend service runs in the rails server. It connects to lnpay.co and polls for invoice settlement.

This backend service is handled via eye and automatically started in the docker.sh script. It can also be started manually via:

Through eye

docker exec bitcoinersbest-rails eye load eye.rb

or manually

docker exec bitcoinersbest-rails rails runner services/transactions_monitor/main.rb

Credentials

Multiple credentials are required to run, they are stored in the rails encrypted credentials file, which can be edited via:

docker exec -it bitcoinersbest-rails bash
# apt install vim # You might need to install an editor
# EDITOR=vim rails credentials:edit

The credentials should be a YAML that includes:

lnpay:
  key: ... # public key from https://lnpay.co/dashboard/integrations
  secret: ... # secret key from https://lnpay.co/dashboard/integrations
  wallet: ... # wallet invoice access key, format will be wi_...

twitter:
  key: ... # twitter api key
  secret: ... # twitter secret key

secret_key_base: ... # A random string, can be created by running `rails secret`

Twitter app settings

The twitter app, created in https://developer.twitter.com, should be enabled with OAuth access, providing a callback that points to http://localhost:3001/auth/twitter/callback.

Running

Right after building, the service will be accessible on http://localhost:3001/. The docker.sh script provides:

$ bash docker.sh start # Start docker container
$ bash docker.sh stop # Stop docker container
$ bash docker.sh destroy # Destroy docker containers

docker exec -it bitcoinersbest-rails rails c # Access rails console
