Installing BOS
These are the commands to enter in a command-line interface for Umbrel - (once you have ssh'd into your umbrel, you can follow these steps):
Step 1: Install npm
sudo apt install npm
Step 2: Install Balance of Satoshis
sudo npm install -g balanceofsatoshis
sudo apt update
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
mkdir -p .bos/umbrel/
cd .bos/umbrel
Step 3: Create the credentials file:
sudo nano credentials.json
and paste the following inside:
{
"cert_path": "/home/umbrel/umbrel/lnd/tls.cert",
"macaroon_path": "/home/umbrel/umbrel/lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/admin.macaroon",
"socket": "localhost:10009"
}
Step 4: Validate that the tool is working:
Run the following commands and validate the output (not an error):
bos --version
bos utxos
Step 5: Installing Telegram Bot
Go to Telegram
Start chat with @BotFather
press
/start
/newbot
Decide A bot name NodeAliasNew
Decide a bot user name for telegram BotName_bot
You will get a long alphanumeric API KEY for the bot, Note that. You can always retrieve it using /mybot
with BotFather
Now you will be at a connect key prompt. Go to next step before pressing anything.
Now come back to your node
On your SSH session bos telegram at first prompt type API key (alpha numeric) received from BotFather
In telegram go to your bot (link in BotFather window usually @BotName_bot
type /connect
you will get a numeric key
type that numeric key on the second prompt in your ssh session with bos telegram
You should get a connected message in your Telegram Bot as well as on SSH session.
Verify by typing /version
in your telegram bot and you should see the version number of bos.
Press Ctrl-C in SSH session with bos telegram
Now run it as nohup bos telegram --connect <numeric key from telegram bot> 1>/dev/null 2>&1 &
This will run your telegram bot even if you come out of your ssh session.
Instead of nohup you can also run it under TMUX if you are familiar.
TMUX Installation
TMUX To use tmux, you can do the following:
sudo apt-get install tmux
tmux new -s <give any session name>
The session name can be anything you like to name. e.g. "my_telegram_bot"
then in that window
bos telegram --connect <connect id>
where connect_id is your connection id - numeric key received from bot.
at this point, your bot should be working
to detach from TMUX, now enter
ctrl+b
d
note ctrl-b is one command followed by d (not ctrl-b d together)
It should say detached from the session
If you want to connect back to this session later, just ssh again and then tmux ls
and you should see your session
you can then use tmux attach -t <YourSessionNameHere>
you can keep attaching and detaching from the session
and it keeps running
tmux kill-server —— to kill the sessions tmux attach -t <session name>
Paying invoices from bot
If you have secure access to your telegram account and you want to allow the Telegram Bot to pay invoices set a budget to pay for invoices through telegram using bot's /pay
command:
bos telegram —-connect <numeric key from telegram bot> —-budget <yourMaxBudget in sats>
If you prefer to use bot only for messages from your node, do not set budget and it wont be able to pay any invoices.
