Hi - we are bitcoin only, and have no interest in supporting altcoins. Saying that, it should work anyway, out of the box.

[nostrdev]

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!

[nostrdev]

Finally - we have packaged Bitcoin Core!

How do we submit this for official packaging?

@nostrdev @timconsidine Would you like to try this one?
@girish ?

[nostrdev]

More good news - we also finally got btcpay server running: https://git.nostrdev.com/stuff/cloudron-btcpay/

Even better, it will automatically connect to your bitcoin instance. And you can have multiple BTCPay Server instances with just one instance of bitcoin core.

@jtippetts - we ended up doing this internally. If you're able to get value from this package, and still keen to contribute 100 EUR, we'd be super happy if it went to the Graphene OS project. We are not affiliated, we are just very grateful that their software exists.

Traditionally create a repo on git.cloudron.io but maybe the Cloudron team can work with your one.

Just mention @staff (ooo, I did) and they can take a look

[timconsidine]

@nostrdev Cool ! well done !

I need to take a look

[nostrdev]

@timconsidine - it seems there is no signup option

[timconsidine]

@nostrdev weird !
I cannot see one either.
Only the sign in link top right.
one for cloudron support team, I'm afraid

[timconsidine]

By default, GitLab allows external people to sign up. This can be disabled to restrict use only to Cloudron users as follows:

GitLab > Admin area > Settings > Features > remove the check mark "Sign-up enabled"

Maybe it can't detect your cloudron status

Hello @nostrdev and @timconsidine
Signup to the git.cloudron.io instance was disabled due to an overwhelming amount of spam accounts.
@nostrdev I will take this as a request for an account and access rights to create repositories.

The @staff will create your account with the e-mail address used here in the forum.

[girish]

@nostrdev I have created an account nostrdev and the email on this forum . Can you password reset?

[nostrdev]

done! What next? Copy across the two repos under our own account? Or in the playground? We got an email about the packages group but it doesn't appear in the dropdown when trying to add a new repo.

[timconsidine]

@nostrdev I normally set up git.cloudron.io as an additional remote on my dev device, then create an empty repo in git.cloudron.io through the UI dashboard, and then commit/push the app source to it.

Twice (2 repos!)

[nostrdev]

Ok - pushed both repos to the playground (seemed the most suitable place) and raised first PR (looks like push to main is not possible, nor is merging)

[girish]

@nostrdev hey thanks! you should be the maintainer of the repo now.

At some point , someone in the team will have to have a look at the package . I have no ETA for this atm but there is a task for @vladimir.d internally for this.

[LoudLemur]

BTC Pay Server - what is the latest? We need it!

@timconsidine, is this application on your radar?

[timconsidine]

@LoudLemur I’m lacking decent internet for a week but will look when I can.
If @vladimir.d is on the case, I’ve every confidence he will do a great job
