This is a super minimal implementation of lnurl pay and lnaddress to self-host. It's only meant for a few users and not a lot of traffic. As the ln wallet, we use phoenixd.

It is strongly encoraged to run this behind a reverse-proxy like nginx

To use, just build it with rust, and then you'll need a folder with the json of each user you want to support. For example, create a users/ folder and create one json for each user. The json name should be user, where user is what will appear before the @ on the final address. So [email protected] should have a json called john (no .json). The content should be the following:

{
	"maxSendable": MAX_SENDABLE,
	"minSendable": MIN_SENDABLE,
	"tag": "payRequest",
	"metadata": "[[\"text/plain\",\"YOUR DESCRIPTION\"]]",
	"callback": "https://<CALLBACK ADDRESS>/callback"
}

Replace MIN_SENDABLE and MAX_SENDABLE with something like 1000 and 100000000 (in milisatoshis). YOUR DESCRIPTION is a short string that will be shown on the client before paying you. CALLBACK ADDRESS is the address where this software is hosted.

Here's an example:

{
	"maxSendable": 100000000,
	"minSendable": 1000,
	"tag": "payRequest",
	"metadata": "[[\"text/plain\",\"my ln address\"]]",
	"callback": "https://smith.com/callback"
}

After that, you need to start phoenixd and get the password from ~/.phoenix/phoenix.conf. You'll see a field like http-password=<PASSWORD>. Only copy the PASSWORD part. The start this with

$ ln-address <PASSWORD>

Run --help to see all options.
