YouTube Video: How to set up a BTCPay server at Lunanode<\/h2>\n

About the article, “BTCPay Server at Lunanode – How to set up a BTCPay Server at Lunanode.” there is an explanatory video from Coincharge on the YouTube channel of Coincharge in German language.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/38dU557rSHE” title=”How to set up a BTCPay Server at Lunanode (BTCPay Server Part 2)”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\n

Create an account with Lunanode<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3617″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Registration with Lunanode requires an email address and a cell phone number for SMS authorization.<\/p>\n

Personal data and details are not collected.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]If you need an invoice in your name or company, you can optionally enter this information in LunaNode.<\/p>\n

In the Account section, under Billing Info, there is the option to enter the relevant information.<\/p>\n

Each time a deposit is made to the hosting account, one will receive a corresponding invoice with the details that have been provided. Subsequent creation of the invoice is not possible. Therefore, you should do this before making your first deposit.<\/p>\n

This information is optional and can be omitted if no invoice is required.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12303″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3615″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]After creating an account, the account must be loaded with credit.<\/p>\n

Hosting is paid from this credit on a daily basis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Lunanode offers payment by PayPal and by credit card.<\/p>\n

In addition, the payment by cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Through the Coinbase option, payments can be made by ETH, LTC, BCH, DAI, LTC and USDC.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3613″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3611″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

Via the Bitcoin via BTCPay option, payments can be made by Bitcoin and by Lightning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Generate API Key<\/h2>\n

After the credit has been made, click on the API button in the upper right corner of the navigation menu.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3609″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]You will be taken to the following page, where an API key must be generated.<\/p>\n

No entries need to be made in the fields. These are options that can be ignored.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3607″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]After clicking Create API, you will get an API ID and a longer API Key.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\n

Set up BTCPay server<\/h2>\n

After that, go to the website https:\/\/launchbtcpay.lunanode.com\/.<\/a><\/p>\n

On this page the previously generated API ID and API Key will be entered.<\/p>\n

At this point, one orders the LunaNode package m.2 for $7 a month. This is absolutely sufficient to run a BTCPay server for bitcoin payment processing with Lightning.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3605″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]After clicking Continue, the following page will appear.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3603″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]A separate sub-domain is generated for the BTCPayServer. But you can also use your own sub-domain. However, you can change this at a later time. Therefore, it is recommended to continue with the domain suggested by Lunanode at this point.<\/p>\n

On the next page, you specify which cryptocurrencies you want to accept. Bitcoin and Lightning is already selected with BTC.<\/p>\n

If one selects even more cryptocurrencies, additional storage space is required because the respective blockchain has to be stored on the server.<\/p>\n

This would increase the original price accordingly.<\/p>\n

Lunanode recommends the m.4 package for about $14 per month if you use Bitcoin and Lightning.<\/p>\n

If you want it a little cheaper, you can also set up Bitcoin and Lightning payments with m.2 for $7 a month. We have already set up a few projects under m.2 and have had good experiences.<\/p>\n

You can also start with m.2 now and upgrade to m.4 at a later date.<\/p>\n

Optionally, an email address can be stored, via which one is informed when the installation is completed. If you don’t enter an address, you will receive the corresponding hints via the email address of the Lunanode account.<\/p>\n

As a network, you leave it at Mainnet.<\/p>\n

Lightning implementation relies on LND or on C-Lightning to be able to receive Lightning payments as well.<\/p>\n

If you are unsure which version to use, we recommend LND.<\/p>\n

The check mark for Acceleration should remain set if you book additional computing power for a one-time fee of $3. This makes sense so that the blockchain can be synchronized more quickly. Without the addition, the process then takes about a week. For the additional price, the synchronization process is already completed after 2-3 days.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3601″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]All other settings are optional. It is recommended that no changes or settings are made at this point for the time being.<\/p>\n

All settings can still be changed at a later time.<\/p>\n

We click on Launch VM and the following message appears.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3599″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n

Then you have to wait for about 5 minutes and then you can click on the displayed link.<\/p>\n

At the same time, you will be informed by email that everything is set up.<\/p>\n

After that the following page appears:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3597″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n

Here you can now log in to your new BTCPay server. The first account that is created is automatically the admin account.<\/p>\n

After logging in, a message appears in the next 3-4 days that the blockchain is still being synchronized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3595″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Once the synchronization process is complete, this message disappears.<\/p>\n

After that you can start the individual configuration of your BTCPayServer.<\/p>\n

DNS Setup<\/h1>\n

You have received a domain from Lunanode something like btcpay9531754.lndyn.com.<\/p>\n

You can also hang this address under your own domain so you can use a domain call like btcpay.my-domain.com.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is useful if you want to avoid warnings for potential pishing attacks or deceptive warnings. Then the BTCPay server is behind the https key of your own website.<\/p>\n

Likewise, it looks better and more trustworthy for one’s customers if the Bitcoin payment page is associated with the store’s accessed domain.<\/p>\n

For this you have to look up the External IP of the BTCPayServer at Lunanode.<\/p>\n

You can find the External IPv4 under Virtual Machines on the dashboard.<\/p>\n

After that you have to create a corresponding DNS entry for the domain. You do this with the provider who manages the domain.<\/p>\n

An A record must be created within DNS Management.<\/p>\n

For the domain btcpay<\/em>.my-domain.com an A-record btcpay<\/em>with the Lunanode IPv4 address is created.<\/p>\n

After that, log in to the BTCPayServer and go to Server Settings Maintenance.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3593″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The new domain name is entered in the “Change domain name” field.<\/p>\n

In our case btcpay.my-domain.com<\/em> and then we click Confirm.<\/p>\n

Now you can call the BTCPay server directly via your own domain and the payment page will also be displayed via this domain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
