Hi Stackers

I'm attempting to 'spin up' a lightning.pub node for the first time.

  1. where it says Paste one line and have a Pub node in under 2 minutes......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  2. I have zero computer science experience and im using a potato of a chrome book that's older than some of you 🤣🤣
  3. so far I've installed Linux, installed Docker, installed Node, installed Nano 🤣🤣🤣🤣 my ******* head is spinning 🥴
  4. how you do this all day is initially frustrating but equally quite enjoyable once you get that burst of data meaning you've done something right!

So i think 🤔 I've followed the steps, so far, but im at a brick wall with Configure values in the env file, am i supposed to edit anything here?

Not sure what I'm doing but it's been fun as well as demanding.

I haven't seen the npub nsec either, so I may have missed that.

I can start over if need be

And thank you @justin_shocknet for building this, im getting there slowly 🐌 😊

Yo!

If you're doing just the one line install there's no need to change the envs, defaults will work, and the script will spit out the nprofile (The node nsec is kept in the DB)

Also won't need docker that way

Are you using ChromeOS? I haven't tested that but if so it'd be good to know it works

If you missed the nprofile out of the script you can view it with cat ~/lightning_pub/admin.connect which will include the admin secret so you can access the dashboard/invite screen from shockwallet

reply

Yes chromeOS but im in Linux, i can start over, I feel like I've over installed all these node and nano and Docker 🤣🤣

reply

Hah, yea we made the script to help people avoid that, the experience can't hurt though

If you run the script again it should spit the nprofile out it it's successful, but again I haven't tested ChromeOS linux

I might have to admit defeat for now! My son can help me on Wednesday, when I run deploy lightning pub

Im getting failed to start

Frustrating but I'll pick up Wednesday 😠 😡

reply

Bummer, I'll see if I can track down a ChromeOS, my guess it's just missing the service manager of a typical Linux (systemd if your son is so inclined)

Welcome!

So, as I wrote in #1285450, I wanted to know where people keep their nodes... and then I saw this... but then I saw that https://lightning.pub wouldn't load correctly...

come to find out, they're using tailwind's CDN... which appears to be using Cloudflare's CDN

reply

Sonofa... that's an otherwise packed page on colocated iron, apparently the packing isnt using the local css...

Getting due for an update anyway. We otherwise only use a CDN for video (and obvs github hosted stuff)

I've had another look at it and can't seem to get the one line code to work

The more complex option needs me to remove hashtags in the env file, which would be interesting to learn but I wouldn't expect you to walk me through all that

  • because it's unfair on your time
  • I might get lost and mess up

Im still in the camp that a standard windows laptop might work better, so im trying to convince my son to let me install on his 🤣🤣

I did stumble across the nprofile somewhere amongst the myriad of windows i had open, I was able to add that to SW successfully but because the npub nsec were not set and I imagine some of the other factors weren't set correctly, but we are learning and thats a plus

I'll put this in would like to have and execute on a more suitable laptop hopefully soon 🙌
