# How do I find the IP address when running without a display?
|
||||
|
||||
If you can login into your local internet router it should show you the IP address assigned to the RaspberryPi.
|
||||
|
||||
Another way is to use [Angry IP Scanner](https://angryip.org/) to find the IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also put an empty file just called `hdmi` (without any ending) onto the sd card when connected to your laptop and then start it up on the RaspberryPi. This will activate the HDMI port and if you connect a HDMI monitor to the RaspberryPi it will show you the RaspiBlitz status screen containing the local IP address.

Your IP can reveal your location (at least to a certain radius) to everyone and your internet provider has a record of your personal identity tied to your IP. When you choose to run behind the Tor network this personal data is much better protected. But running behind Tor reduces speed and might make it more difficult to connect to you for other nodes or pairing other devices and apps to it.
|

You can switch Tor off later on. You can also switch Tor on after the setup, but keep in mind that once your node is running, your lightning node id can be connected to your public IP.

||||
|
||||
A Submarine Swaps Service by lighting labs. You call it from the RaspiBlitz terminal with the command 'loop' - if you have the RTL service installed (see below), then loop will also be available as part of the RTL web interface. You can use Loop for example to send satoshies from one of your channels to an on-chain bitcoin address without closing the channel for a fee. This can be use full to send earned satoshies to your hardware wallet while freeing up your inbound liquidity on your channels again.
|
||||
Enables a user to run his own Electrum server on the RaspiBlitz. The server indexes the entire Bitcoin blockchain saved locally on your HDD/SSD, and the resulting index enables fast queries for any given user wallet, allowing the user to keep real-time track of his balances and his transaction history using the [Electrum wallet](https://electrum.org).
|
||||
|
||||
[Details on Service](https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop)
|
||||
Since Electrum Rust Server runs on the user's own machine, there is no need for the wallet to communicate with external Electrum servers, thus preserving the privacy of addresses and balances.
|
||||
|
||||
After install, you will see a new `LOOP` option in the SSH main menu - it will give you all the information you need to start using it.
|
||||
By contrast, if you use your Trezor Hardware Wallet with the trezor.io wallet, it will tell their third party server your public keys - connecting it with your IP. Now you can use your Trezor with the Electrum Wallet, just talking to your own Electrum Server, preserving your privacy.

|
||||
Lightning Pool is a non-custodial, peer-to-peer marketplace that allows node operators that need inbound liquidity to pay node operators with available capital to open channels in their direction while retaining full custody of their funds. Pool’s first product is a Lightning Channel Lease - an inbound channel with a pre-agreed duration.

|
||||
|
||||
##### LND: Interim LND Update
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes there is a new LND release that has some breaking changes that once you updated the LND database cannot be reversed (like the update from 0.9.2 to 0.10.0). Then RaspiBlitz offers you an optional update ... this is where you then can update LND.
|
||||
|
||||
If you choose this you get the option to do this `VERIFIED` that means it offers you the optional LND update we tested the RaspiBlitz with or `RECKLESS` which will just grab the latest LND release from the GitHub releases page (also Release Candidates) and install it with no further guarantees and verification checks - this is for people that run nodes to test new releases and how they work with existing RaspiBlitz apps.

This is an option for people that report bugs and we like to offer them a quick script update (patch) between RaspiBlitz releases or for people who want to develolp on the RaspiBlitz and sync code between their IDE, forked GitHub and their RaspiBlitz.

## Make a RaspiBlitz out of your Umbrel or MyNode
|
||||
|
||||
Another kind of migration is when you already run an full node with the Umbrel or myNode software and you like to change it to RaspiBlitz without closing channels. You basically have all the hardware needed and just need to change software. You dont need the [LCD from the shopping list](#amazon-shopping-list-buy-parts--build-it-yourself) - RaspiBlitz can also run without an LCD.
|
||||
|
||||
*NOTE: This migration is still expirimental. You will still use the terminal to setup & manage your RaspiBlitz. If that is too technical for you please wait for the RaspiBlitz v1.8, which will introduce a WebUI for your browser that make the migration to RaspiBlitz familiar like with your old node user experiences.*
|
||||
|
||||
Before you start migration:
|
||||
* if you have on-chain funds on your old node - make sure to have the backup seed words
|
||||
* if you have lightning channels open on your old node - make sure to have downloaded the latest Static Channel Backup file to your laptop
|
||||
|
||||
Also be aware that at the moment RaspiBlitz can only transfere your blockchain and LND wallet data (including channels) over to RaspiBlitz. Any data/pairing of additional apps cannot be transfered and may get lost.
|
||||
|
||||
Instructions for Migration:
|
||||
* shutdown your old node
|
||||
* remove the sd card
|
||||
* [download the latest Raspiblitz sd card image & flash it to your sd card](#downloading-the-software)
|
||||
* if you like to use a HDMI monitor for status & progress, create a empty file called `hdmi` (withot any ending) on the sd card while connected to your laptop
|
||||
* [insert sd card, boot up & login per SSH](#boot-your-raspiblitz)
|
||||
|
||||
Now RaspiBlitz should show you that old data from your node was detected and offer you todo the migration.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you continue it will prepare the data & reboot.
|
||||
* The RaspiBlitz recover/update modus is starting - that will take a while and finally reboot.
|
||||
* Login per SSH as before and reset the passwords (`FINAL RECOVERY LOGIN` on LCD). Then a final reboot will happen.
|
||||
* Login per SSH with your new password A & unlock LND wallet with password C. Now blockchain needs to catch up and then your RaspiBlitz should be ready and show you (under INFO) your on-chain & channel balance.
|
||||
|
||||
If you dont have an LCD or HDMI monitor connectec it might be a bit difficult to see what state your RaspiBlitz is in. Just (re-)try to login per SSH again after the reboots (might always take some time until it reacts).

||||

## Interface / APIs

A ready-to-use SD card image of RaspiBlitz is provided by us for download, to get everybody started quickly (see above). But if you want to build that image yourself - here is a quick guide:
|
||||
|
||||
* Get a fresh RaspiOS 64-bit: [DOWNLOAD](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images).
|
||||
* Get a latest RaspiOS 64-bit: [DOWNLOAD](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images).
|
||||
* Write the image to an SD card: [TUTORIAL](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md).
|
||||
* Add a file called `ssh` to the root of the SD card when mounted on your laptop to enable SSH login.
|
||||
* Start the card on a Raspi and login via SSH with `ssh pi@[IP-OF-YOUR-RASPI]`. Password is `raspberry`.

# Security Policy
|
||||
|
||||
*NOTE: This document is just a first draft and still under contruction.*
|
||||
|
||||
Only use this software with funds you could afford to lose. Especially a lightning wallet is a hot wallet that has a constant connection to the internet and can be target of exploitation.
|
||||
|
||||
Just because the software is OpenSource does not mean its free of errors. Especially if you run additional apps the RaspiBlitz team cannot review all the code of those external projects.

The software is provided "AS IS", without warrenty of any kind. In no event shall the

# Online Security
|
||||
|
||||
* Wi-fi and Bluetooth is disabled by default in the build script.
|
||||
* UFW is active and only specific ports are open, closing ports and removing hidden services when services are uninstalled.
|
||||
* Fail-2-Ban is protecting the SSH login against brute-force-attacks.
|
||||
* Admin (and Joinmarket [optional]) users have passwordless sudo access to be able to perform installations and read password without much user interaction.
|
||||
|
||||
# Physical Security
|
||||
* All wallets and user interfaces are password protected so this has more privacy implications (in the case of physical theft) than security.
|
||||
|
||||
* The lightning wallet and user interfaces are password protected by default so this has more privacy implications (in the case of physical theft) than security.
|
||||
* Optional log in through SSH using a hardware wallet.
|
||||
* LUKS encryption would be welcome in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
# On-chain Funds
|
||||
|
||||
Please keep in mind that there can be two different on-chain wallets on the RaspiBlitz.
|
||||
|
||||
## Lightning Wallet (default)
|
||||
|
||||
The default is the on-chain lightning wallet - thats the wallet where you normally send your funds before opening a channel & where your funds return to when you close a channel. With the initial word seed you get during RaspiBlitz setup you can get access again to this on-chain wallet. Keep the seed words secure in a off-line location.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bitcoin Core Wallet (deactivated by default)
|
||||
|
||||
Beside lightning you have a bitcoin core installed. Normally bitcoin core acts just as a blockchain informational service to the lightning wallet and its internal seperate on-chain wallet is deactivated.
|
||||
|
||||
Some apps (like Fully Noded or JoinMarket) activate the bitcoin core wallet and use it for their own needs. This on-chain balance will not be reflected in the rest of the RaspiBlitz software and is NOT backuped by the seed words from the RaspiBlitz setup. If you make use of the bitcoin core wallet please take care of these funds.
|
||||
|
||||
# Off-chain Funds (Lightning Channels)
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that there is no perfect backup concept for the funds in your lightning channels yet. We recommend strongly to use the `Static Channel Backup` provided by LND and consider off-loctaion backup of that file to have the best chances to recover Lightning funds in a case desaster recovery.
|
||||
|
||||
