Hi N0nce,
Thanks so much for this guide. I thought I'd give it a go on my futurebit apollo ( I did not flash a custom install of linux ; I am using futurebit's latest OS). I am pretty new to linux and working with it, but I thought I did a decent job getting through the steps you outlined. However, I got to the point where I did: sudo service lightningd start, and I got the following message: Failed to start lightningd.service: Unit bitcoind.service not found
Any ideas or help you can provide would be greatly appreciated, would love to dive into lightning. Thanks again I see you posting all the time and find you to be very helpful to the community.
Very welcome! Indeed, it seems that 'Apollo OS' doesn't use a Systemd service to start up Bitcoin Core, and instead starts it headless using screen. Thanks so much for this guide.

I found this magnificent piece of shellcode code in the latest image.. *sigh*.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
DEVICE=/dev/nvme0n1p1
if [ -b "$DEVICE" ]; then
screen -dmS node /opt/apolloapi/backend/node/bitcoind -datadir=/media/nvme/Bitcoin -conf=/opt/apolloapi/backend/node/bitcoin.conf
else
exit 0
fi
DEVICE=/dev/nvme0n1p1
if [ -b "$DEVICE" ]; then
screen -dmS node /opt/apolloapi/backend/node/bitcoind -datadir=/media/nvme/Bitcoin -conf=/opt/apolloapi/backend/node/bitcoin.conf
else
exit 0
fi
I'd probably just take out the Requires=bitcoind.service line completely and replace it with Requires=apollo.service; it should work.
