# 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
### 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
```
### 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
```
