What is the latest on BTCpay Server on Cloudron? It was version 1.0.6.2 when it was request. Many releases have been made since then.
https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/releases?page=10Now we are on version 1.12.5
https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/releasesLicence: MIT
Docker: Yes
Active development: Yes
Demo: https://mainnet.demo.btcpayserver.org/login?ReturnUrl=%2FSome features include point-of-sale support, crowdfunding support and a button to tip developers.
https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Apps/BTCpay Server also supports some applications found on Cloudron, so lets support this!

This would be nice to have
-
We are offering a 210 EUR bounty (paid in BTC) if somebody can package this for cloudron
-
I will give it a try, but no promises.

+1 for BTCpayserver

@nostrdev-com I would be happy to add another 100 euros (in btc) to the bounty. Over the long run it will be cheaper than the VPS Iām currently hosting my BTCPar Server on.

BTCPay Server looks like an inspired App Request. Originally requested in 2020, BTCPay Server today still looks like the best of the Crypto wallet options out there which are Free Software, deployable with Docker and still being improved nearly 5 years later.
Cloudron doesn't have a Crypto app like this, yet. Lets make it happen.

From Grok:
Pros:
Full sovereignty: Runs your own full Bitcoin node (and others like Litecoin).
Excellent Lightning Network integration.
Robust payment processing features (if you need them).
Strong focus on privacy and security.
Mature Docker deployment.
Can manage multiple stores/wallets.
Hardware wallet integration (Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard).
Extensible with plugins.
Cons:
Can be resource-intensive (requires a full node, disk space, and decent RAM).
Primarily Bitcoin-focused; support for other altcoins is less direct or requires more setup.
Might be overkill if you only need a simple personal wallet and not payment processing.
Learning curve can be steeper than simpler solutions. -
We put an ad up on Satshoot and got a response today: https://satshoot.com/naddr1qvzqqqrllupzqf6g0jtqpvttyjsmlvz3nnly5hg6mpy4nc7vuhtd02vafpnq58mcqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet59uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsz9mhwden5te0vf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsq2zyv4cxcmme94p9gsed2pshjt2nv4e8vetj946x7t2rd3hh2erjdahz6vrsvvm8vecla3c7h/

This wasn't as straightforward as we hoped. Mainly because there are three components to this:
- Bitcoin core. For this we will just leave it as an external dependency.
- NBXplorer. This needs to be internal, but is a separate container.
- BTCPay Server.
The problem we're having is packaging two containers (NBXplorer + BTCPay Server) inside the same cloudron container. Does anyone have examples where this has been done on other apps?

Without knowing specific technical details: You could install both applications (not as containers but as binaries/from source) into a single package, then use supervisor to start both of them.
There are a lot of examples on cloudron packages with multiple services in them, these two for example:
- https://git.cloudron.io/packages/librechat-app (Librechat & Meilisearch)
- https://git.cloudron.io/packages/gitlab-app (Gitaly, nginx, puma, sidekiq & sshd)
-
Thanks! We were able to resolve it in the end (was an issue with the nginx config). We now have btcpay server up and running, and plan to have the repo ready to publish here later this week

The server needs plugins to support additional currencies like e.g. Monero or Ethereum. I hope that the package will be able to manage these ok.
Other plugins would be helpful too, for example its ability to hook into woo-commerce and lightning
Especially, we hope Sideshift is easy to use
Fixedfloat and Sideshift are both instant cryptocurrency exchange services used as plugins in BTCPayServer, allowing merchants to accept altcoins by converting them to Bitcoin, with no clear winner based on features alone.
Sideshift seems to have more active development with modern technologies and GitHub activity, while Fixedfloat has a longer operational history since 2018.
Sideshift likely has a larger userbase, with over $2.0 billion in transaction volume, compared to Fixedfloat, where userbase size is less quantifiable.
Sideshift has open-source components (e.g., toolkit under MIT license), while Fixedfloat does not appear to be open-source. -

So it's looking like next week now, that btcpay server will be ready (as in, tidied up). The reason being, that we've also decided to package up Bitcoin Core, and that has a few idisyncracies (eg we need to document how to set up a cloudron volume, so that the blockchain doesn't get backed up)
If anyone is in urgent need of a btcpay server, knows how to deploy from cloudron CLI, and has their own BTC Core RPC creds - feel free to send a DM and we'll give you repo access
Otherwise, watch this space!
