RTL - c-lightning - Orbot - F-Droid

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hello.

After trying to figure out my issue in RTL Telegram channel, I was suggested to reach out for you here.
I'm using RTL and c-lightning and I was trying to setup Orbot/Tor on my phone to access my node via onion address.
But instructions here:
https://github.com/Ride-The-Lightning/RTL/blob/master/docs/RTL_TOR_setup.md

says:
Download Orbot for android (add their repos to F-Droid here: https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/

I don't know what to do with the F-Droid part. How do we install their repositories for F-Droid. When I go to the suggested site I can only see a bunch of links and QR codes. But what to do with them? There are no instructions on what to do with F-Droid.

Could you please clarify?
Thanks
Psy

Hey @seth586 I told you someday someone will come with questions on the document you created for RTL!

Today is that day! 😄

Option 1:
Once you install F-Droid, install a qr code scanner. I personally like Binary Eye. Scan the code, and open the link with F-Droid.

Option 2:
Alternatively, you can open F-Droid, click settings ⚙ , click "Repositories", click the Add Button ➕, and type in the URL given on the guardianproject website: https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo

There is no F-Droid app in Google Play, but I downloaded it from their site.
Now, what QR codes should I scan and what will they do?

Edited;
Ok, after installing F-Droid, GuardianProject repository is already there. I activated it.
Now what? What is this for?
