BTCPay - Setup

Warning: Not recommended to use in production

Manual installation is NOT recommended in production. It should be only used for learning purpose.

Instead you should use the docker deployment.

The docker deployment will provide you easy update system and make sure that all moving parts are wired correctly without any technical knowledge. It will also setup HTTPS for you.

Typical manual installation

This steps have been done on Ubuntu 16.04, adapt for your own install.

1) Install Bitcoin Core 0.17.0

BITCOIN_VERSION="0.17.0"
BITCOIN_URL="https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.17.0/bitcoin-0.17.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz"
BITCOIN_SHA256="9d6b472dc2aceedb1a974b93a3003a81b7e0265963bd2aa0acdcb17598215a4f"

# install bitcoin binaries
cd /tmp
wget -O bitcoin.tar.gz "$BITCOIN_URL"
echo "$BITCOIN_SHA256 bitcoin.tar.gz" | sha256sum -c - && \
mkdir bin && \
sudo tar -xzvf bitcoin.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin --strip-components=2 "bitcoin-$BITCOIN_VERSION/bin/bitcoin-cli" "bitcoin-$BITCOIN_VERSION/bin/bitcoind"
rm bitcoin.tar.gz

2) Install .NET Core SDK 3.1

On my ubuntu 16.04 (See these instructions or here for different OS).

wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
