# The Box Compose System
## Abstract
This is a basic framework for orchestration of the box services for running a full lightning and bitcoin node.
## How to use
Ideally, you should create a user for this and then run it within the root of that user. There are some root privilege needed stuff, however LND doesn't support tor passwords yet so we will need to wait.
### Step 1
Ensure you have the [latest docker ](https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/ ) installed, python3, and docker-compose (installed from python3 pip).
Ensure that you have the latest tor (currently working with 0.3.5.8), and you are using system default paths.
### Step 2
Ensure that your account is permissioned for docker.
### Step 3
Run this from your home directory. This clones this repo into your home directory, as well as preserving the 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/lncm/thebox-compose-system/master/install-box.sh" | sh
# OR wget (if this works better)
wget -qO- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lncm/thebox-compose-system/master/install-box.sh" | sh
```
### Configuring
```bash
# Run this in the $HOME directory
wget -qO- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lncm/thebox-compose-system/master/configure-box.sh" | sh
# or (should be in the $HOME directory after install)
./configure-box.sh
```
### Running
```bash
# Build containers in build/ always
docker-compose up -d --build
# verify the containers
docker ps -a
# Additional node: You should have a way of creating a wallet. Currently this container does not have a create wallet container.
# For the unlock script to work, put the unlock password in secrets/lnd-password.txt
```
