clnrest-rs

A rust rewrite of clnrest

There is two ways you can do this, either edit the config or switch out the plugin file:

Either replace /usr/local/libexec/c-lightning/plugins/clnrest/clnrest (can be different path depending on your OS) with the binary from this repo
Or edit the config:

disable-plugin=clnrest
plugin=/path/to/clnrest-rs

Either replace /usr/local/libexec/c-lightning/plugins/clnrest/clnrest.py (can be different path depending on your OS) with the binary from this repo.
Or edit the config:

disable-plugin=clnrest.py
plugin=/path/to/clnrest-rs

Release binaries for

can be found on the release page. If you are unsure about your architecture you can run uname -m.

They require glibc>=2.31, which you can check with ldd --version.

You can build the plugin yourself instead of using the release binaries. First clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/daywalker90/clnrest-rs.git

Install a recent rust version (rustup is recommended) and in the clnrest-rs folder run:

cargo build --release

After that the binary will be here: target/release/clnrest-rs

Note: Release binaries are built using cross and the optimized profile.

These work the same as with the python implementation:

clnrest-certs: Path for certificates (for https), if you have your own certificates, otherwise clnrest will generate self-signed certs in your lightning-dir
clnrest-protocol: REST server protocol (https or http), defaults to https
clnrest-host: REST server host, defaults to 127.0.0.1
clnrest-cors-origins:Cross origin resource sharing origins, defaults to *
clnrest-csp: Content security policy (CSP) for the server, defaults to default-src 'self'; font-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data:; frame-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
clnrest-swagger-root: Root path for Swagger UI, defaults to /
