This project serves as a communication hub between bitcoin core, electrum-x, c-lightning and further services that run on the base and the bitbox-wallet-app.
It's architecture should be able to handle multiple clients, should run a websocket api and by default only expose its api to noise authenticated clients.
Currently, to build an run, install go and run:
make native
for a native build. You can also cross compile to arm64/aarch64 with
make aarch64
Before committing be sure to run gofmt -w * to properly indent the code.
You can also run make envinit to setup a development environment (dep and ci
tools)
The middleware accepts some command line arguments to connect to c-lightning and bitcoind. The arguments are expected to be passed in the following fashion:
./base-middleware -rpcuser rpcuser -rpcpassword rpcpassword -rpcport 18332 -lightning-rpc-path /home/bitcoin/.lightning/lightning-rpc
Running ./base-middleware -h will print the following help:
-lightning-rpc-path string
Path to the lightning rpc unix socket (default "/home/bitcoin/.lightning/lightning-rpc")
-rpcpassword string
Bitcoin rpc password (default "rpcpassword")
-rpcport string
Bitcoin rpc port, localhost is assumed as an address (default "8332")
-rpcuser string
Bitcoin rpc user name (default "rpcuser")
