lnbits-flask

This is a barebones flask web application that accepts lightning payments and withdrawals.

It wraps calls to an LNBits wallet, configured in flaskapp.py:

 lnbits_kwargs = {
  "host": "http://YOUR LN NODE TOR ADDRESS.onion",
  "walletid": "YOUR LNBITS WALLET ID HERE",
  "adminkey": "YOUR LNBITS ADMIN KEY HERE",
  "invoicekey": "YOUR LNBITS INVOICE KEY HERE",
  "tor": True
 }

LNBits behind Tor (e.g. Umbrel node)

Set tor=True, if LNBits host is an onion address.

You must have Tor running on the flask host.

You must have pysocks installed, to support Tor connection via socks5 proxy.

Requirements

How to run

  • Install requirements above
  • Customize lnbits_kwargs in flaskapp.py
  • $ python3 flaskapp.py

It's possible to add payment detection on QR invoice page, using LNBits webhooks and flask_socketio... but that was left out to keep the example simple.
