BTCPay Server is an open-source, self-hosted cryptocurrency payment processor that allows merchants to accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing BTCPay Server on Clear Linux Latest.
The first step is to install the dependencies that BTCPay Server requires to run. Run the following commands in the terminal to install the required packages:
sudo swupd bundle-add nginx apparmor-runtime dotnet-sdk
Once the dependencies are installed, we need to clone the BTCPay Server repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver.git /usr/local/btcpayserver
After cloning the repository, navigate to the BTCPay Server directory:
cd /usr/local/btcpayserver
Now, we need to build BTCPay Server using the dotnet command. Run the following command to build BTCPay Server:
sudo dotnet build
This command will take a few minutes to complete.
Next, we need to configure Nginx to reverse proxy requests to BTCPay Server. Run the following command to create a new Nginx configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/btcpayserver.conf
Add the following configuration to the file and save it:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com; # Replace with your domain name
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com; # Replace with your domain name
ssl_certificate /path/to/your/certificate.crt; # Replace with your SSL certificate path
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/your/certificate.key; # Replace with your SSL private key path
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:49392; # BTCPay Server listens on port 49392
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection keep-alive;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
Restart Nginx for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Finally, we can start BTCPay Server by running the following command:
sudo dotnet run
BTCPay Server will take a few minutes to start up. Once it starts up, you should be able to access the server at https://example.com.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install BTCPay Server on Clear Linux Latest. Now that BTCPay Server is set up, you can start accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment for your business.
