## Installation

### Bare Metal (production)

1. Set up a Redis instance
2. Set up a signet network on a Bitcoin Core or Knots node. This node should have a wallet that receives the mining rewards or otherwise plenty of funds to give out. You can refer to [BcnBitcoinOnly/signet-playground](https://github.com/BcnBitcoinOnly/signet-playground) for more information.
3. Clone this project, checkout the latest tag and install the PHP dependencies with `composer install --no-dev --classmap-authoritative`
4. Set up a webserver with FastCGI support and configure it properly, including the faucet's environment variables (see below). Caddy is recommended for its ease of use.

### Docker (development)

For development tasks Docker, the PHP CLI and Composer are assumed to be installed locally.
The development stack runs containerized Caddy and PHP-FPM containers, but Composer is used as a task runner tool.

```shell
$ docker compose up -d
$ composer install
$ composer setup
```

After these commands the faucet will be available at `http://localhost:8080`, and set up with a regtest node with a wallet and 101 blocks already mined.

The `composer.json` file also has tasks for generating bitcoin addresses, mining new blocks and running the linter and the test suite.

To customize the Docker stack create a `compose.override.yml` at the root. On `docker compose up -d` it'll be automatically merged with `compose.yml`.
Example, with custom environment variables and exposed Redis port for debugging:

```yaml
name: faucet

services:
php-fpm:
env_file:
- .env
redis:
ports:
- 127.0.0.1:6379:6379
```
To customize the default environment variables create an `.env` file and set it up as an extra `env_file` for `php-fpm` as shown above.
Example:

```
FAUCET_USE_CAPTCHA=1
FAUCET_PASSWORD_BCRYPT_HASH='$2y$10$MyYyMkeWk2v4tvzA5lylyuWBsBXsvOfcGeCG61C9mVOdXDx1/BnyO'
```

Changing environment variables requires recreating the `php-fpm` container.

## Configuration

### Environment Variable Reference
Expand Down Expand Up @@ -99,9 +57,28 @@ The following environment variables can be used to configure your faucet instanc
| `FAUCET_PASSWORD_BCRYPT_HASH` | Bcrypt hash of the faucet's password | Read Password section | No |
| `FAUCET_MEMPOOL_URL` | Mempool URL where to show the instant payout transactions | `https://mempool.example.com` | No |

### Password

In order to avoid storing plain text secrets the faucet settings use a BCrypt hash instead of the password itself.

Run the `bin/bcrypt.php` helper script to get a ready-made `FAUCET_PASSWORD_BCRYPT_HASH` definition from any given password.

```shell
$ php bin/bcrypt.php n0s3c0ndb3st
FAUCET_PASSWORD_BCRYPT_HASH='$2y$10$cNZwPXN5N8.RUBrMNfZOhuT9ClWv0fWawSaxE4rTXbgTjrNVJTko2'
```

### Transaction Batching

TODO
![batched payment example](docs/img/batch.png)

Transaction batching instructs the faucet to withhold approved payouts to send them later on as a single transaction.
To enable this mode, set `FAUCET_USE_BATCHING=1`.

You also need to set up a cronjob that runs `bin/batch.php` at your preferred interval.
Run `crontab -e` to edit the current user's crontab file.

In [`docs/cron`](docs/cron/sample) there's an example on how to set up one such cronjob that runs every 15 minutes.

The development stack runs containerized Caddy and PHP-FPM containers, but Composer is used as a task runner tool.

$ docker compose up -d
$ composer install
$ composer setup

After these commands the faucet will be available at `http://localhost:8080`, and set up with a regtest node with a wallet and 101 blocks already mined.

The `composer.json` file also has tasks for fetching new addresses from the node's wallet, mining additional regtest blocks, running the test suite and applying the code linter:

```shell
$ composer lint
$ composer mine
$ composer newaddress
$ composer test
```

Arbitrary `bitcoin-cli` commands can be run like so:

```shell
$ docker compose exec knots bitcoin-cli help send
```

To customize the Docker stack create a `compose.override.yml` at the root. On `docker compose up -d` it'll be automatically merged with `compose.yml`.
