MiniBolt v1 has been released! 🚀⚡

The MiniBolt guide is available at: minibolt.info

Core guide structure

The "core" guide is defined as a basic set of guides on how to set up a personal computer and install a core set of Bitcoin and Lightning tools. It is structured as follows:

  • Intro: what is the project and why should you care?
  • System: set up the system. Operating system installation, remote access, first configuration, security and privacy
  • Bitcoin: run Bitcoin Core, Electrum server, a desktop wallet and a blockchain explorer
  • Lightning: run LND including web-based node management, a mobile app, and a guide explaining channel backup methods
  • Bonus guides: contain more specific guides that build on top of the main section

Based on RaspiBolt guide v3

⚠️ Some guides are being updated to adapt them to the new MiniBolt configuration, so they may not be in line with the reference use case. Pay special attention to the "Status: MiniBolt not tested" label at the beginning of the guides.

Main changes to RaspiBolt v3

This guide has been adapted from RaspiBolt v3, those are the most relevant changes:

  • Changed OS from Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bits) to Ubuntu Server LTS (Long term support) 64-bit PC (AMD64)
  • Changed binaries and signatures of the programs to adapt them to x86/amd64 architecture
  • Deleted unnecessary tools and steps, and added others according to this case of use
  • Added some useful authentication logs monitoring commands in the security section
  • Added some interesting parameters in the settings of some services to activate and take advantage of new features
