Quickly spin up a Lightning-enabled Wordpress Store
(Testnet only, for testing and learning purposes only)
Run this and wait for the containers to come up: docker-compose up -d
-
Once started, go to http://127.0.0.1:8080, and run through the WordPress setup.
-
Log into WordPress, go to Plugins and enable WooCommerce Lightning Gateway.
-
Enable WooCommerce and then run through the setup there.
I suggest denominating in local currency or BTC, and not enabling Stripe or PayPal.
-
Create a new product, and set a price for it.
-
Go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Payments and click Set Up on Bitcoin Lightning.
-
Enable the payment method.
-
Change the endpoint to https://lnd:8080
-
Take the output of
docker exec -it lnd xxd -p -c 1000 /root/.lnd/invoice.macaroonand paste it into Macaroon Hex, then click Save -
Run these commands:
docker cp lnd:/root/.lnd/tls.cert tls.cert
docker exec -it lightningpress mkdir /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-lightning/tls
docker cp tls.cert lightningpress:/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-lightning/tls/tls.cert
docker exec -it lightningpress chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-lightning/tls -R
rm tls.cert
- (Optional) Go to Settings -> Reading and set your homepage to the shop.
The next step would be to use Apache or Nginx to reverse proxy to your WordPress site, and forwarding port 9735 to the internet so people can open channels.
Syncing testnet will probably take some hours.
Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8280 to use lncli-web, from which you can get the node information. It will probably be inaccurate, as the URI will have 127.0.0.1 as the IP.
Run this and wait for the containers to come up: docker-compose -f neutrino-docker-compose.yml up -d
Then run through the previous steps.
