fulmo

a minimalist c-lightning UI

Dependencies

You must have a bitcoin full node and c-lightning installed and running.

Make sure python, pip, and git are installed:

sudo apt-get install python python-pip python-dev build-essential git

Install the following python modules:

sudo pip install pylightning Flask qrcode[pil]

Installation

Add this to your ~/.lightning/config file and restart your c-lightning node:

rpc-file=/tmp/lightning-rpc

Then run:

git clone https://github.com/marzig76/fulmo
cd fulmo
./fulmo

Then just open a web browser to http://localhost:5000

Notes

This will set up a web UI for your locally running c-lightning node. By default, it will use an unencrypted connection. If you want an encrypted connection with automatically generated self-signed certs, you can specify the --ssl command line argument: ./fulmo --ssl. Then use https when connecting.

The service binds to all local interfaces, so it will be accessable to your entire local network. This is ideal for running it on a raspberry pi, then accessing it from another device on your network like your laptop or smart phone.
