```
Connect to nix-bitcoin node through the SSH onion service
---
1. Get the SSH onion address (excluding the port suffix)
```
ssh operator@bitcoin-node
nodeinfo | jq -r .sshd.onion_address | sed 's/:.*//'
```
2. Create a SSH key
```
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```
3. Place the ed25519 key's fingerprint in the `configuration.nix` `openssh.authorizedKeys.keys` field like so
```
# FIXME: Add your SSH pubkey
services.openssh.enable = true;
users.users.root = {
openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ "<contents of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub>" ];
};
```
4. Connect to your nix-bitcoin node's SSH onion service, forwarding a local port to the nix-bitcoin node's SSH server
```
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -L <random port of your choosing>:localhost:22 root@<SSH onion address>
```
5. Edit your deployment tool's configuration and change the node's address to `localhost` and the ssh port to `<random port of your choosing>`.
If you use krops as described in the [installation tutorial](./install.md), set `target = "localhost:<random port of your choosing>";` in `krops/deploy.nix`.
6. After deploying the new configuration, it will connect through the SSH tunnel you established in step iv. This also allows you to do more complex SSH setups that some deployment tools don't support. An example would be authenticating with [Trezor's SSH agent](https://github.com/romanz/trezor-agent), which provides extra security.
Initialize a Trezor for Bitcoin Core's Hardware Wallet Interface
---
1. Enable Trezor in `configuration.nix`
Change
```
# services.hardware-wallets.trezor = true;
```
to
```
services.hardware-wallets.trezor = true;
```
2. Deploy new `configuration.nix`
3. Check that your nix-bitcoin node recognizes your Trezor
```
ssh operator@bitcoin-node
lsusb
```
Should show something relating to your Trezor
4. If your Trezor has outdated firmware or is not yet initialized: Start your Trezor in bootloader mode
Trezor v1
```
Plug in your Trezor with both buttons depressed
```
Trezor v2
```
Start swiping your finger across your Trezor's touchscreen and plug in the USB cable when your finger is halfway through
```
5. If your Trezor's firmware is outdated: Update your Trezor's firmware
```
trezorctl firmware-update
```
Follow the on-screen instructions
**Caution: This command _will_ wipe your Trezor. If you already store Bitcoin on it, only do this with the recovery seed nearby.**
6. If your Trezor is not yet initialized: Set up your Trezor
```
trezorctl reset-device -p
```
Follow the on-screen instructions
7. Find your Trezor
```
hwi enumerate
hwi -t trezor -d <path from previous command> promptpin
hwi -t trezor -d <path> sendpin <number positions for the PIN as displayed on your device's screen>
hwi enumerate
```
8. Follow Bitcoin Core's instructions on [Using Bitcoin Core with Hardware Wallets](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI/blob/master/docs/bitcoin-core-usage.md) to use your Trezor with `bitcoin-cli` on your nix-bitcoin node
JoinMarket
---
## Diff to regular JoinMarket usage
For clarity reasons, nix-bitcoin renames all scripts to `jm-*` without `.py`, for
example `wallet-tool.py` becomes `jm-wallet-tool`. The rest of this section
details nix-bitcoin specific workflows for JoinMarket.
## Initialize JoinMarket Wallet
By default, nix-bitcoin's JoinMarket module automatically generates a wallet for
you. If however, you want to manually initialize your wallet, follow these steps.
1. Enable JoinMarket in your node configuration
```
services.joinmarket.enable = true;
```
2. Move the automatically generated `wallet.jmdat`
```console
mv /var/lib/joinmarket/wallet.jmdat /var/lib/joinmarket/bak.jmdat
```
3. Generate wallet on your node
```console
jm-wallet-tool generate
```
Follow the on-screen instructions and write down your seed.
In order to use nix-bitcoin's `joinmarket.yieldgenerator`, use the password
from `/secrets/jm-wallet-password` and use the suggested default wallet name
`wallet.jmdat`. If you want to use your own `jm-wallet-password`, simply
replace the password string in your local secrets directory.
## Run the tumbler
The tumbler needs to be able to run in the background for a long time, use screen
to run it accross SSH sessions. You can also use tmux in the same fashion.
1. Add screen to your `environment.systemPackages`, for example
```
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
vim
screen
];
```
2. Start the screen session
```console
screen -S "tumbler"
```
3. Start the tumbler
Example: Tumbling into your wallet after buying from an exchange to improve privacy:
```console
jm-tumbler wallet.jmdat <addr1> <addr2> <addr3>
```
After tumbling your bitcoin end up in these three addresses. You can now
spend them without the exchange collecting data on your purchases.
Get more information [here](https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/blob/master/docs/tumblerguide.md)
4. Detach the screen session to leave the tumbler running in the background
```
Ctrl-a d or Ctrl-a Ctrl-d
```
5. Re-attach to the screen session
```console
screen -r tumbler
```
6. End screen session
Type exit when tumbler is done
```console
exit
```
## Run a "maker" or "yield generator"
The maker/yield generator in nix-bitcoin is implemented using a systemd service.
See [here](https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/blob/master/docs/YIELDGENERATOR.md) for more yield generator information.
1. Enable yield generator bot in your node configuration
```
services.joinmarket.yieldgenerator = {
enable = true;
# Optional: Add custom parameters
txfee = 200;
cjfee_a = 300;
};
'';
```
2. Check service status
```console
systemctl status joinmarket-yieldgenerator
```
3. Profit
clightning

## Plugins
There are a number of [plugins](https://github.com/lightningd/plugins) available for clightning. Currently `nix-bitcoin` supports:
- helpme
- monitor
- prometheus
- rebalance
- summary
- zmq
You can activate and configure these plugins like so:
```nix
services.clightning = {
enable = true;
plugins = {
prometheus.enable = true;
prometheus.listen = "0.0.0.0:9900";
};
};
```
Please have a look at the module for a plugin (e.g. [prometheus.nix](../modules/clightning-plugins/prometheus.nix)) to learn its configuration options.
