Fedimint UI Projects

What's Inside

This project includes the following apps / packages:

App

We've refactored the Fedimint UI into a single client side app that can run on the browser or on desktop using Electron.

• router: This creates a homescreen that shows all your connected services: guardians or gateways. You can connect to other guardians or gateways by entering their baseUrl. You have to authenticate each service separately because the auth for each one is done differently.

Packages

• ui: Shared React UI component library for building Fedimint UI experiences
• utils: Shared utility functions like the current translation framework on Fedimint UI apps
• eslint-config: Shared eslint configurations (includes eslint-plugin-react and eslint-config-prettier)
• tsconfig: Shared tsconfig.jsons used throughout Fedimint UI apps

Testing

For detailed testing instructions, please refer to the testing.md file in this repository. It contains comprehensive information on how to set up and run local tests for the Fedimint UI projects.

Version Policy

Fedimint UI releases use semantic versioning (major.minor.patch)

• Major and minor versions of fedimint/ui are made to be compatible major and minor versions of fedimint/fedimint
  • For instance, any 1.1.x release of the UI should work with any 1.1.x release of Fedimint
• Patch versions of fedimint/ui are made independent of fedimint/fedimint
  • For instance, you could run fedimint/ui@1.0.1 against fedimint/fedimint@1.0.0 and vice versa
  • It is always recommended to run the latest patch release of any version as they may contain important fixes
• The master branch of fedimint/ui attempts to track master of fedimint/fedimint
  • This tracking is a best effort, and sometimes the two will fall out of sync. Feel free to open an issue if you notice an incompatibility.
  • It is not recommended to run master in production as breaking changes may occur without warning

Running a Release

Build and Run from Source

Guardian UI

git clone git@github.com:fedimint/ui.git fedimint-ui
cd fedimint-ui/apps/guardian-ui
yarn install
PORT=3000 REACT_APP_FM_CONFIG_API="[app-address-here]" yarn build && yarn start

Replace PORT with a port of your choice, and REACT_APP_FM_CONFIG_API with the socket address of your deployed fedimintd server.

NOTE: The Guardian UI references a config.json specified at the root of where the UI is served from. The Dockerfile writes this file from ENV VARs but a static site deployment will want to customize this file.

Gateway UI

git clone git@github.com:fedimint/ui.git fedimint-ui
cd fedimint-ui/apps/gateway-ui
yarn install
PORT=3000 REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_API="[app-address-here]" REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_PASSWORD="[password-here]" yarn build && yarn start

Replace PORT with a port of your choice, REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_API with the http address, and REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_PASSWORD with the password of your deployed gatewayd server.

Run with Docker

Note: Docker images are only built for linux/amd64. Your docker will need to support virtualization to run on other platforms.

Guardian UI

The guardian UI container is available at fedimintui/guardian-ui

docker pull fedimintui/guardian-ui:0.1.0
docker run \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  --env "REACT_APP_FM_CONFIG_API='[app-address-here]'" \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  fedimintui/guardian-ui:0.1.0

Replace -p 3000:3000 with a port of your choice, and REACT_APP_FM_CONFIG_API with the socket address of your deployed fedimintd server.

Gateway UI

The gateway UI container is available at fedimintui/gateway-ui

docker pull fedimintui/gateway-ui:0.1.0
docker run \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  --env "REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_API='[app-address-here]'" \
  --env "REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_PASSWORD='[password-here]'" \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  fedimintui/gateway-ui:0.1.0

Replace -p 3000:3000 with a port of your choice, REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_API with the http address, and REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_PASSWORD with the password of your deployed gatewayd server.

Development

The development password for the gateway is theresnosecondbest. The development password for the guardians when using the nix-gateway or docker development environments is pass.

Option 1 - Running with Nix (preferred)

1. Install Nix

   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install

2. Add experimental-features = nix-command flakes to your /etc/nix/nix.conf file
3. In terminal cd to the fedimint-ui repo root directory
4. Enter the following command to start Nix development environment

   nix develop

5. Run yarn nix-gateway or yarn nix-guardian Note: nix-gateway preconfigures the federation so you don't have to go through federation setup. nix-guardian starts separate guardian nodes that are connected into the federation when you run through the federation setup process.

Gateway UI

yarn nix-gateway

nix-gateway spins up these instances

instance	url
gateway-ui	http://127.0.0.1:3004/
guardian-ui	http://127.0.0.1:3000/

Guardian UI

yarn nix-guardian

nix-guardian spins up these instances

instance	url
guardian-ui-1	http://127.0.0.1:3000/
guardian-ui-2	http://127.0.0.1:3001/
guardian-ui-3	http://127.0.0.1:3002/
guardian-ui-4	http://127.0.0.1:3003/

Option 2 - Running with docker

1. Install mprocs
2. In terminal cd to the fedimint-ui repo root directory and run yarn install
3. Run yarn docker

After running this command, you'll be present with the mprocs display. Along the left side are the list of processes currently available by mprocs. Along the bottom are hotkeys for navigating/interacting with mprocs. The main pane shows the shell output for the currently selected process.

The start-servers process shows combined logging for fedimintd, bitcoind, gatewayd, and lnd.

The stop-servers process can be used to stop all docker containers by hitting the s key to start the process. After doing so, you can return to the start-servers process and hit r to restart things.

The guardian-ui-1, guardian-ui-2, guardian-ui-3, guardian-ui-4 are instances of guardian-ui apps, each running on different ports and connected to a unique fedimintd server instance (running in the start-servers process).

The gateway-ui is an instance of gateway-ui app, connected to a gatewayd server instance (running in the start-servers process).

You can see more details by viewing the mprocs.yml file.

yarn mprocs spins up these instances

instance	url
guardian-ui-1	http://127.0.0.1:3000/
guardian-ui-2	http://127.0.0.1:3001/
guardian-ui-3	http://127.0.0.1:3002/
guardian-ui-4	http://127.0.0.1:3003/
gateway-ui	http://127.0.0.1:3004/

Option 3 - Running with Docker Compose and Yarn manually

From root repo directory:

1. Ensure Docker and yarn/nodejs are installed.

2. Run docker compose up - runs 4 fedimintd servers and a gatewayd server, plus associated services. See compose file for details

3. yarn install (first time only)

4. Run guardian-ui in development environment

     # first guardian
     PORT=3000 REACT_APP_FM_CONFIG_API="ws://127.0.0.1:18174" yarn dev:guardian-ui
     # second guardian
     PORT=3001 REACT_APP_FM_CONFIG_API="ws://127.0.0.1:18184" yarn dev:guardian-ui
     # third guardian
     PORT=3002 REACT_APP_FM_CONFIG_API="ws://127.0.0.1:18185" yarn dev:guardian-ui
     # fourth guardian
     PORT=3003 REACT_APP_FM_CONFIG_API="ws://127.0.0.1:18186" yarn dev:guardian-ui

5. Run gateway-ui in development environment

     PORT=3004 REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_API="http://127.0.0.1:8175" REACT_APP_FM_GATEWAY_PASSWORD="theresnosecondbest" yarn dev:gateway-ui

6. Run docker compose down when done. It might be worth deleting fm_*, directory from the repo. These are data directories mounted to Docker containers running fedmintd and are listed in .gitignore so are safe to remove.

Referencing Fedimint

The docker containers and devimint are for specific releases or commits of fedimint/fedimint. At present, the reference commit-hash is 819df733ce330e5ac77e32011f11e2b192a48948

Running with local Fedimint

If you would like to run the UIs against a particular version of fedimint, or using changes you have made locally to fedimint itself:

1. Run cargo build in fedimint
2. Run env DEVIMINT_BIN=$(realpath ../fedimint/target-nix/debug) yarn nix-guardian (assuming that you have ui and fedimint repos checked out in the same directory)

This will put binaries in fedimint/target-nix/debug at the front of your $PATH. Devimint will use these binaries instead of the ones installed via Nix.

Bumping referenced Fedimint

You can officially bump the referenced version of Fedimint using the following steps:

1. Locate a desired hash from Fedimint

2. Find and replace all instances of the current reference commit hash: 4ccc52631b02ee741b01257e8cfb207e9f9629bf

3. Run nix flake update at the root of the repo

4. Restart your nix shell and validate the reference, then commit to complete bump
