This will set up a LND testnet node with Tor and Ride-the-Lightning in just two commands.
It also synchronizes really fast because it uses Neutrino, you don't have to run a full bitcoind testnet node (34 GB). After synchronizing, the graph takes less than 750 MB.
It uses multiarch docker images, so you can run it on Raspberry Pi's, Intel and M1 Macs and perhaps even Windows if you really want but I didn't test that myself.
- Start all docker services
docker-compose up -d - Create a testnet wallet:
docker-compose exec lnd lncli -n testnet create - Now you can use RTL by going to http://localhost:3000/, the password is
password1
There are several faucets available:
- https://testnet-faucet.com/btc-testnet/
- https://coinfaucet.eu/en/btc-testnet/
- https://testnet-faucet.mempool.co/
Be nice and send the tBTC back after playing with it.
