When will be able to run a lightning node and how would i connect my storage wallet to my node?
This is what I want to know as well; it's been nearly a year of ownership for me and I've wanted this functionality from day one
I was able to get lightningd to run on the FutureBit today. I tried a few different approaches, but I believe these steps will get it running.
From https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning
sudo add-apt-repository -u ppa:lightningnetwork/ppa
sudo apt-get install lightningd
We need bitcoin-cli since FutureBit doesn't ship with it
wget https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-22.0/bitcoin-22.0-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar -xvf bitcoin-22.0-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
cd bitcoin-22.0/bin
sudo install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin ~/bitcoin-22.0/bin/bitcoin-cli
ln -s /opt/apolloapi/backend/node/bitcoin.conf bitcoin.conf
That should be it, running lightningd should come up and at least start running. I have not connected it any further than that yet.
