Prerequisites (Docker)

Install Docker Desktop and allocate enough resources for the local test environment.

The local test environment runs multiple services (Bitcoin node, Lightning nodes, explorer) and requires Docker.

Install Docker Desktop

Install the latest Docker Desktop for your OS.

Allocate resources (important)

In Docker Desktop, open Settings -> Resources.
Allocate at least 4GB RAM (8GB recommended). Too little memory may cause services to crash during startup.

Network note

The first startup downloads large images. If image pulls fail (for example EOF), try a more stable network / VPN mode and retry.

Get Started

Set up the local test environment and complete your first RGB Lightning transfer in the desktop app.

Install the Desktop App

Download and install RGB Lightning Node on macOS / Windows / Linux.
