LN Filestore is a webserver that provides a pay to download feature based onto the lightnint network.
Its primary use is made for umbrel
The current repo provides the API server part. If you want more information about the API and its routes see the extended documentation
A NextJS front-end app for Umbrel is available here
In order to run the webserver you will have to provide access to a postgresql database and a LND node synced with Bitcoin's timechain.
See configuration documentation for more details.
If you want to run it on a docker-compose you can find an example in my umbrel-apps fork.
