RaspiBolt v3 Latest
Latest

Major update of the whole RaspiBolt guide! 🚀

The guide is now available at https://raspibolt.org/

Core guide structure

The "core" guide is defined as a basic set of guides on how to set up the Raspberry Pi and install a core set of Bitcoin and Lightning tools. It is structured as follows:

  • Intro: what is the project and why should you care?
  • Backstory: original motivation
  • Raspberry Pi: set up the system
  • Bitcoin: run Bitcoin Core, Electrum server, and a blockchain explorer
  • Lightning: run LND including web-based node management

The Bonus Section is still being updated to the new setup.

Main changes of the RaspiBolt version 3

Raspberry Pi

  • Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit
  • Only standard Debian commands are used for wider compatibility
  • RaspiOS is flashed directly to an external drive, no need for a microSD card (this lowers setup complexity tremendously)
  • Individual service users for all applications
  • Data directory at /data/, by default on the same drive, but anything can be mounted
  • NGINX using dedicated reverse proxy include files for all of the exposed ports (Electrum, web apps)
  • Tor is installed from Debian repositories
  • SSH over Tor

Bitcoin

  • Bitcoin Core
    • Usage of rpcauth.py to create hashed RPC credentials, enabling cookie authentication
    • runs without wallet (prerequisite for group-based access to cookie, set via sysparms)
  • Electrs
    • updated to v0.9.2
    • compilation uses Rust repository installation
    • Elects PGP git tag verification
  • BTC RPC Explorer

Lightning

  • LND
    • updated to v0.14.0
    • automated password unlock via password file (todo: offer more secure options)
  • Ride The Lightning

Other changes

  • new dark-mode with raspberry pink glowing 80's color theme
  • added OpenGraph tags for social media previews
  • renamed files to a more atomic naming scheme
