lnd and lightning-loop resolve `localhost` to an IPv4 address when
creating RPC sockets.
Since NixOS 23.05, RTL (nodejs) resolves `localhost` to an IPv6
address when connecting to lnd and lightning-loop, which leads to
connection errors.
To fix these and other potential errors, replace all instances
of `localhost` with `127.0.0.1`.
For both lnd and clightning-rest, `lndconnectOnion` is replaced by
options `lndconnect.enable` and `lndconnect.onion`.
This allows using lndconnect without Tor.
Advantages:
- Pure test evaluations
- The test framework can now be used by flakes that extend nix-bitcoin
- Most features of `run-tests.sh` are now accessible via `nix build`/`nix run`.
We keep `run-tests.sh` for advanced features like `scenarioOverridesFile` and adhoc scenarios.
Other changes:
- `run-tests.sh` now builds aggregate VM tests like `basic` or
`buildable` by creating all VMs in a single evaluation.
This speeds up the tests and eases debugging by separating the eval and build steps.
- Use the new `nix` CLI which has improved build output logging
by prefixing output lines with the origin drv name.
- Move option `rtl.nodes.{lnd,clightning}` -> `rtl.nodes.{lnd,clightning}.enable`
This is required by the next commit.
- Move option `rtl.loop` -> `rtl.nodes.lnd.loop`
- Only enable loop when `nodes.lnd` is enabled
Option `services.lnd.restOnionService.package` has been removed.
There's not much use in overriding the [lndconnect pkg](https://github.com/LN-Zap/lndconnect).
- Rename `services.rtl.cl-rest` to `services.clightning-rest`.
`clightning-rest` is generally useful for connecting external REST clients
to clightning.
- Add a dedicated network namespace in netns-isolation.
- Add nodeinfo entry.
- Add datadir (which contains REST auth data) to backups.
Previously, in case of btcpayserver.lbtc on regtest, nbxplorer just
printed a log error while trying to generate liquidd regtest blocks.
Now nbxplorer exits with an error, so disable lbtc.
Otherwise liquidd startup fails. This bug was not covered by our tests,
because we're not combining `regtest` with `secure-node`.
But nixbitcoin.org does, which should suffice for now.
- README: add matrix room
- examples/configuration.nix: explain why bitcoind is enabled by default
- btcpayserver: group lnd service settings
- clightning:
Use public onion port only when the onion service is public
This allows users to enable the onion service while announcing a
non-onion public address.
- netns-isolation: move `readOnly` attr to the top
- tests: use mkDefault to allow for easier overriding
- tests/btcpayserver: test web server response
- `waitfornewblock` was previously not included in the public RPC
whitelist because it's reserved for testing and marked as hidden
in bitcoind.
- electrs changed its verbosity settings. `-vv` is now the best choice
for normal usage.
- bitcoind option `dataDirReadableByGroup` is now unused.
Because it can be valuable for other use cases and implementing
it is intricate, we're keeping it for now.
- test: keep `nc` connection open because otherwise the electrs
RPC server would now close the connection before sending a response.
