# ☂️ Umbrel

This is the master respository of Umbrel and contains the framework for orchestration of all containerized services running on [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os).

It is platform and architecture-agnostic, thus can be used to directly spin up instances of Umbrel without installing the [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os) since all orchestrated services use multi-architecture Docker images.

We run it on Raspbery Pis (ARMv7) as a part of [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os), Ubuntu (x64) for [testnet.getumbrel.com](https://testnet.getumbrel.com) and macOS (x64) for local development.

## 🚀 Getting started

If you are looking to run Umbrel on your hardware, you do not need to use this repository on it's own. Just download [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os/releases) and you're good to go.

## 🎹 Services orchestrated

- [`Umbrel Dashboard`](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-dashboard)
- [`Umbrel Manager`](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-manager)
- [`Umbrel Middleware`](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-middleware)
- [`Bitcoin Core`](https://github.com/getumbrel/docker-bitcoind)
- [`LND`](https://github.com/getumbrel/docker-lnd)
- [`Tor`](https://github.com/getumbrel/docker-tor)
- [`Nginx`](https://github.com/nginx/nginx)
- [`lnd-neutrino-switch`](https://github.com/lncm/docker-lnd-neutrino-switch) - Utility container for seamlessly transitioning from neutrino mode to bitcoind mode

## 🛠 Installation

### Requirements

- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install)
- [Python 3.0+](https://www.python.org/downloads)
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-using-pip) (installed via python3 pip)

Ensure that your account is [correctly permissioned to use docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user).

### Step 1. Run this from your home directory (if installing on dedicated hardware)

> It will clone this repo while preserving home directory's existing structure.

```bash
# Ideally you should run this in $HOME as the docker-compose presets are in home
# This will not overwrite any other files but you should segment this in its 
# own account
curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getumbrel/umbrel/v0.1.3-beta/install-box.sh" | sh
# OR wget (if this works better)
wget -qO- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getumbrel/umbrel/v0.1.3-beta/install-box.sh" | sh
```

### Step 2. Configure

```bash
# To run Umbrel on mainnet, run:
./configure-box.sh

# For testnet, run:
TESTNET=1 ./configure-box.sh

# For regtest, run:
REGTEST=1 ./configure-box.sh
```

### Step 3. Run the services

```bash
docker-compose up -d
# Verify the services
docker ps -a
```

### ⚡️ Don't be too reckless

> Umbrel is still in early development and things are expected to break every now and then. We **DO NOT** recommend running it on the mainnet with real money just yet, unless you want to be really *#reckless*.
