Join this exciting journey as we navigate the intricacies of running LND! This session focuses on setting up LND as a background process, unlocking the wallet, checking its status, and retrieving crucial information. We'll walk through depositing Bitcoin into your node and opening a channel via the command line. We'll also ensure Bitcoin Core is up and running on our machine. To dive deeper, we will create a wallet, sync our node to the network graph, grab the node's URI and even generate our first invoice. This step-by-step process is packed with practical exercises, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned Bitcoin node runners.

To install LND (Lightning Network Daemon), you can either download the binary from the project's repository or compile it from the source code. If you choose to compile from source, you'll need to install dependencies such as Node.js, Yarn, and Golang. Once LND is installed, you need to configure it before starting it for the first time. This involves creating a configuration file and making some amendments to the Bitcoin Core configuration file. The Bitcoin Core configuration file should include settings for enabling remote procedure calls and ZMQ, with specified usernames and passwords. For LND configuration, you'll need to create a lit.conf file and customize settings such as the node's alias, color, UI password, and Bitcoin RPC username and password. You also need to specify Bitcoin Core options, including the RPC host, ZMQ settings, and network type. After configuring LND, you can test the installation by running "litd" and ensuring it doesn't encounter any errors. If you want to use Tor with LND, you can install Tor either from the Ubuntu software repository or from source. To configure Tor, you need to generate a password, edit the Tor configuration file to set the HashedControlPassword and ControlPort, and then restart Tor. To configure LND for Tor, you'll need to add Tor-related settings to the lit.conf file, including enabling Tor, specifying the SOCKS and control ports, Tor password, and optional settings for clearnet operation. You can also configure Bitcoin Core to connect to peers over the Tor network by adding a "proxy" setting to its configuration file. Following these instructions will allow you to install and configure LND, along with optional Tor integration, for enhanced privacy and connectivity in your Bitcoin node.

Leo guides viewers through the process of installing Bitcoin Core, the most popular implementation of a Bitcoin node. The video covers three installation methods: compiling from source, downloading the source code, and installing from the Ubuntu Snap Store. The presenter recommends installing Bitcoin Core from source for those interested in open source and self-sovereign software. For the first method, compiling from source, the video explains the process step by step. It begins with preparing the machine by installing necessary software packages using the provided command. The source code is then downloaded from the Bitcoin Core GitHub repository, and a specific version is selected. After generating a makefile and configuring the system, the code is compiled and installed permanently on the machine. The second method involves downloading the binary from the Bitcoin Core project's website. Viewers are guided on creating a separate folder for downloads, and then the appropriate binary file is downloaded based on the operating system. The compressed file is unpacked, and the binaries are moved to a location where the system can access them permanently. The third method, installing from the Ubuntu Snap Store, is described as the most straightforward option. By executing a single command, viewers can install Bitcoin Core directly from the Ubuntu software repository. Additional instructions are provided to grant access to external drives if needed. At the end of each installation method, the presenter congratulates viewers on successfully installing Bitcoin Core and suggests proceeding to the next guide for configuration.

In this lesson, we will walk you through the process of setting up a virtual private server (VPS) for running a Lightning node. We will use Lunanode as our hosting provider and will guide you through the steps of creating an account, depositing funds, and setting up SSH access. We will also show you how to provision your VPS, connect to your node over SSH, and create, attach, and format a volume for storing the Bitcoin blockchain. The chapter includes detailed instructions for key generation and configuration file editing, ensuring you can securely and efficiently run your Lightning node in the cloud.

In this lesson, we will guide you through the entire process of setting up your own Lightning Network node at home or in the office. We start by helping you select an appropriate device. This could be a used laptop, a refurbished desktop computer, a mini-PC or even a Raspberry Pi, though availability of the latter may vary. Next, we delve into the system requirements. While the minimum requirements include 2GB of RAM, a 1 GHz quad core, and 20GB of storage, we recommend having at least 4GB of RAM, a 2 GHz six core, and a 256GB SSD for improved performance. We also stress the importance of being able to access the BIOS for installing Linux. Moving forward, we recommend running your node on a Linux-based operating system, particularly Ubuntu or Debian. We guide you through the process of installing Ubuntu on your device using a live USB, which includes accessing the BIOS, booting from the USB, and setting up the operating system. In the final section of the lesson, we explain how to set up SSH access to control your node from your personal computer. This involves creating an SSH key on your personal machine, installing an SSH server on your node, authorizing your SSH key, and obtaining your node’s IP address. After this, you should be able to connect to your node from your personal computer using the SSH command. By the end of this lesson, you will be equipped with the knowledge and resources to install Ubuntu and configure SSH, setting a solid foundation for running a Lightning Network node.

A step-by-step guide to installing and configuring your own node on a spare computer or a VPS --- The Node Academy is a comprehensive online course that teaches participants how to set up, configure, and maintain their own Lightning Network nodes. Led by Leo and organized by the Vancouver Bitcoiners, the course is designed to help participants grow the number of high-quality nodes on the network, particularly within the Pacific Nodewest noderunners community. The course consists of eight guided virtual sessions, starting with an introduction that covers the minimum and suggested requirements for running a Lightning node, and helps participants decide whether to host their node on a spare machine or a virtual private server (VPS). From there, the course progresses to topics such as the command line interface, installing and syncing Bitcoin Core, installing and configuring LND, and getting started with Lightning payments. Participants will also learn how to connect to mobile wallets, use Lightning Terminal to manage their node, and install web-based dashboards like Thunderhub, RTL, and LNbits. The final session focuses on maintaining the node, covering best practices for regular software updates, monitoring node status and channel liquidity, and keeping backups of critical data. By the end of the course, participants will have the skills and knowledge necessary to run their own Lightning Network node with confidence.
