Can you explain how
Since this is the Apollo BTC thread, the official answer would be to wait for a bit:
(solo mining, block explorer, Lightning network all planned in the short term)
Having said that, if you're capable of managing your own device, install and configure things on your own, then you could use any lightning setup on top of the Apollo.
I personally prefer open source above anything else, so here is a fully open source stack to run a lightning node through REST with a great web based interface, which gives you a lot of flexibility:
- Bitcoin Core: The Bitcoin node, already in your Apollo Computer. This is your private Bitcoin node that you will connect to. Setup a RPC user and password for it.
- c-lightning: a lightweight C implementation of the Lightning Network. This will connect to the Bitcoin node in the same device using that user/pass.
- C-Lightning-REST: A rest API interface for c-lightning.
- Ride-The-Lightning: RTL is an awesome web based interface for managing your node. It communicates through the REST API to your node.
And now you should be able to manage your node through a great web interface. All powered by open source.
