Reckless: add man page
2022-11-02 19:48:24 +01:00
reckless - install and activate a CLN plugin by name
====================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**reckless** [*options*] **install/uninstall/enable/disable/source** *target*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Reckless is a plugin manager for Core-Lightning. Typical plugin
installation involves: finding the source plugin, copying,
installing dependencies, testing, activating, and updating the
lightningd config file. Reckless does all of these by invoking:
doc: escape more naughty underscores The only time underscores aren't special in Markdown is when they appear in preformatted text. We have gotten away with not escaping underscores where an asterisk-enclosed span or the paragraph ends before the next underscore appears, but this is fragile and bad practice. Conversely, there are many places where we have not escaped underscores but needed to. Escape all underscores that do not appear in preformatted blocks or preformatted spans and are not themselves delineating emphasized spans.

reckless will exit early in the event that:
- the plugin is not found in any available source repositories
- dependencies are not sucessfully installed
- the plugin fails to execute
Reckless-installed plugins reside in the 'reckless' subdirectory
of the user's `.lightning` folder. By default, plugins are activated
on the `bitcoin` network (and use lightningd's bitcoin network
config), but regtest may also be used.

NOTES
-----
Reckless currently supports python plugins only. Additional language
support will be provided in future releases.
Running the first time will prompt the user that their lightningd's
bitcoin config will be appended (or created) to inherit the reckless
config file (this config is specific to bitcoin by default.)
Management of plugins will subsequently modify this file.
Troubleshooting tips:
Plugins must be executable. For python plugins, the shebang is
invoked, so **python3** should be available in your environment. This
can be verified with **which Python3**. The default reckless directory
is $USER/.lightning/reckless and it should be possible for the
lightningd user to execute files located here. If this is a problem,

Reckless: add man page

relocate the reckless directory from its default. Consider creating a
permanent alias in this case.
For Plugin Developers:
To make your plugin compatible with reckless install:
- Choose a unique plugin name.
- The plugin entrypoint is inferred. Naming your plugin executable
the same as your plugin name will allow reckless to identify it
correctly (file extensions are okay.)
- For python plugins, a requirements.txt is the preferred medium for
python dependencies. A pyproject.toml will be used as a fallback,
but test installation via `pip install -e .` - Poetry looks for
additional files in the working directory, whereas with pip, any
references to these will require something like
`packages = [{ include = "*.py" }]` under the `[tool.poetry]`
section.
- Additional repository sources may be added with
`reckless source add https://my.repo.url/here` however,
https://github.com/lightningd/plugins is included by default.
Consider adding your plugin lightningd/plugins to make
installation simpler.
- If your plugin is located in a subdirectory of your repo with a
different name than your plugin, it will likely be overlooked.
