Welcome to kube-bitcoin-stack! 🎉
This project sets up a collection of Bitcoin-related services on Kubernetes, including:
- Bitcoind: The reference Bitcoin node.
- BTCPayServer: A self-hosted payment processor.
- Electrum: A lightweight Bitcoin wallet.
- LND: Lightning Network Daemon for Bitcoin's Lightning Network.
- CLN: Core Lightning, another Lightning Network implementation.
- Plus other useful services and tools!
This stack provides everything you need to run Bitcoin and Lightning Network services in a Kubernetes environment. It includes:
- Simplified YAML files: Easy to import into your own projects or use as-is.
- Prometheus exporters: For collecting metrics from all your services.
- Prometheus server: Configured to aggregate metrics.
- Grafana dashboards: To visualize operational and Bitcoin-related metrics.
- Namespace Isolation: Each service runs in its own Kubernetes namespace for better organization and management.
- Production-Ready: Ideal for production engineering of Bitcoin services.
- Metrics & Monitoring: Integrated Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring and visualization.
- Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/imaginator/kube-bitcoin-stack.git
cd kube-bitcoin-stack- Apply Kubernetes Manifests
Import the provided YAML files into your Kubernetes cluster:
kubectl apply -f kube-bitcoin-stack/deployments/<whatever>- Access Services
Each service runs in its own namespace. Check out the Kubernetes services and deployments:
kubectl get services --all-namespaces
kubectl get deployments --all-namespaces- View Metrics
All kube-bitcoin-stack services come with a Prometheus Exporter and Grafana Dashboard
Access the Grafana dashboard for metrics and monitoring:
kubectl port-forward svc/grafana 3000:80 -n <namespace>Then navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
- Production Engineering: Perfect for Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) or Production Engineers looking to manage Bitcoin and Lightning services.
- Alternative to Raspiblitz/Umbrel: Run your own Bitcoin stack with all the monitoring and management tools you need.
