LND PubSub Server

** 2022-01-16: Deprecated in favour of ringtools/ringtools-server-ts which has much better code quality and less dependencies **

This is a PubSub Server for LND, which can be used for tooling (e.g. frontends) which are useful in creating Ring of Fires.

After subscribing to specific pubkeys or channels you will get the current state and while the session is open, updates to both the node and the channel.

To test, fill in your own node pubkey and channel(s) in app/templates/index.html and go to localhost:5000

Warning: note that Debug=True in app/main.py for now.

Partly based on StijnBTC/RingTools

Goals

• Support multiple host OS'es by using Docker
• Make it as modular as possible
• Synchronize transport functionality

Prepare pyenv virtualenv (for development)

1. pyenv virtualenv 3.9.7 lnd-pubsub
2. pyenv activate lnd-pubsub

Usage without docker(-compose)

1. Create .env (see .env.sample)
2. Install requirement pip3 install -r
3. Run python3 app/main.py
4. Go to localhost:5000 for the Debug page

Usage with docker-compose

1. Create .env (see .env.sample)
2. Run docker-compose up -d
3. Go to localhost:5000 for the Debug page
