Manual

Have Go v1.13 installed, and:

git clone https://github.com/lncm/invoicer.git
cd invoicer
make run

NOTE: It might work on previous versions of Go, but only the latest is supported.

Usage

$ ./invoicer --help
Usage of bin/invoicer:
  -config string
        Path to a config file in TOML format (default "~/.lncm/invoicer.conf")

NOTE: Before running make sure invoicer.conf exists somewhere. To see what's expected in it, please refer to invoicer.example.conf file.

• Provide all credentials needed by LND and bitcoind,
• Or (if you use ex. neutrino) disable bitcoind dependency by adding: off-chain-only=true to config,
• Make sure the certificate provided via tls = in [lnd] section has your domain/IP added,
• To have GET /history endpoint available, make sure to add user = "password" pairs to [users] section,
• By default, all API paths start with localhost:8080/api/,
• By default, all other paths serve content from path passed as static-dir =,
• To keep binary running use screen, tmux, Docker or service manager of your choice,
• Logging to file can be disabled by putting log-file=none to invoicer.conf.

Docker

Create invoicer.conf file in the directory you're in. See invoicer.example.conf for inspiration. Also copy tls.cert, invoice.macaroon, and readonly.macaroon from lnd directory to the dir you're in, and:

Run:

docker run -it --rm \
    -v $(pwd)/:/data/ \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    --name invoicer \
    --detach \
    lncm/invoicer:v0.7.0
