Robosats backend development and testing without docker and containers.
Binaries needed:
- postgresql (
postgres
,initdb
,psql
) - redis (
redis-server
) - bitcoin (
bitcoind
,bitcoin-cli
) - cln (
lightningd
,lightning-cli
,holdinvoice
) - lnd (
lnd
,lncli
)
Postgresql and redis can be found in all linux distros and bsds.
Some distros do not put postgresql binaries in PATH
, if this is the
case simply link them somewhere in your PATH
.
Example on debian:
ln -sf /usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/postgres ~/.local/bin/
ln -sf /usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/initdb ~/.local/bin/
ln -sf /usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/psql ~/.local/bin/
Bitcoin nodes if not already installed need to be manually downloaded.
- bitcoin core binaries can be found here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/download
- cln binaries can be found here: https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/releases
- holdinvoice binary can be found here: https://github.com/daywalker90/holdinvoice/releases
- lnd binaries can be found here: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/releases
Example preparation:
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ mkdir regtest
$ mkdir regtest/programs
$ cd regtest/programs
$ mkdir bitcoin cln lnd
# download bitcoin, cln (and holdinvoice) and lnd binaries
# if you want to use roboauto
# still in regtest/programs
$ git clone https://github.com/jerryfletcher21/roboauto
$ cd roboauto
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install .
$ cp .env-sample .env
Edit .env
, both robosats and regtest scripts will read from there.

Paths can be relative or absolute. Binaries should be paths, they are
not resolved with PATH
.
Roboauto can be disabled by not setting ROBOAUTO_GIT_DIR
or setting it
to false
.
If some ports are already in use, change their value.
To check which port are already in use, netstat -tulnp
with root
privileges can be used.
For example if there is alread an instance of postgresql running on the
default port, change POSTGRES_PORT = "5433"
.
For development and testing two scripts are provided:
regtest-services
for non bitcoin related servicesregtest-nodes
for bitcoin and lightning nodes
regtest-services
sets up the database and manages the services.
Everything is done locally, so no root privileges/service managers are needed.
regtest-nodes
is a script that should be sourced, it sets up a regtest
environment, with bitcoin core, cln, lnd and roboauto, connecting them
and creating channels. It then exposes the functions btc_reg
,
cln_coord
, cln_user
, lnd_coord
, lnd_user
, ra_reg
to interact
with the nodes and roboauto.
If the script is sourced in a bash
shell, it will also source
completions for all the functions.
regtest-nodes
can also be run without arguments to simply expose the
functions to start and remove the nodes and to create the channels
between them, without setting up a specific environment.
Setup:
# after having changed .env file
$ . venv/bin/activate
# generate cln and lnd grpc
$ scripts/generate_grpc.sh
$ scripts/traditional/regtest-services postgres-setup
$ scripts/traditional/regtest-services postgres-database
# postgres-database will create the database specified by
# POSTGRES_DB in .env, it can be run multiple times with
# different values of POSTGRES_DB for different databases
Testing:
# edit .env setting LNVENDOR to either "CLN" or "LND"
# LNVENDOR_ROBOT while running tests should be set to "LND"
# in the main window
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ . scripts/traditional/regtest-nodes test
# in a secondary window
$ . venv/bin/activate
# can be stopped with Control-C
$ scripts/traditional/regtest-services test
# back in the main window
$ python3 manage.py test
# after having run the tests run
$ robosats_regtest_stop_and_remove_all
# to remove the nodes, they will be recreated when
# running the tests again
# the tests should be run with a clean database so if you have already run
# the server and want to keep the database, either use a different value
# of POSTGRES_DB or use a different directory by moving
# regtest/services/postgres somewhere and the moving it back when you want
# to run the server again
Development:
# edit .env setting LNVENDOR to either "CLN" or "LND"
# and LNVENDOR_ROBOT to either "CLN" or "LND"
# in the main window
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ . scripts/traditional/regtest-nodes server
# in a secondary window
$ . venv/bin/activate
# can be stopped with Control-C
$ scripts/traditional/regtest-services server
# to see the output of the django runserver command
# in a third window
$ tail -f regtest/logs/runserver
# if roboauto is active, use it to test the backend
# back in the main window
