GetWishlisted.xyz

What is this?

The wishlist as a service (WaaS) is 2 things ~ an interactive 0-confirmation donation page, and also a wallet creation service for the 4 cryptos being used.

If you wish to create your own wallets and supply the pub keys then i recommend: if not, this tool will create them all for you and you can just write the seed phrases down.

• Electrum (Bitcoin)
• Electron-cash (Bitcoin-cash)
• Feather Wallet (Electrum style Monero wallet)
• WOWlet (Electrum style WOWnero wallet)

Production / On a VPS

Lets pretend my name is George, i have a domain called getwishlisted.xyz and i want to run this wishlist on it.

First things first, i need to install nginx on my Debian vps:

sudo apt-get install nginx

I need to go to the sites-available folder create a file the same name as my domain getwishlisted.xyz

cd /etc/nginx/sites-available
nano getwishlisted.xyz

Nano is a text editor, it will create the file and allow me to begin editing it. I'll paste this inside: (we will be returning to this file later to paste something under the location /donate{} block)

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    root /var/www/html;
    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
    server_name getwishlisted.xyz www.getwishlisted.xyz;
        location /donate {
          proxy_pass http://172.20.111.2:8000;
        }
}

Then, i must press ctrl+x then press Y and ENTER to save the file.
These next lines just create a mirrored copy of the file we created, and restarts the nginx web server. Why create a mirror you ask? i don't know but everyone else does it, so i assume its important (i'll search up on that later):

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/getwishlisted.xyz /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ 
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

Lets get certs. I find snap to be most helpful in this process. I use it to install certbot which is going to give us the SSL keys. It's basically going to create some files on our webserver to prove that we own it, and the certificate authority confirms this, then issues us our SSL certs.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install snapd 
sudo snap install --classic certbot
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot

To run through a menu, use sudo certbot only. (remember that you must run it twice, for the www. url also)
Or a quicker one liner: (replace getwishlisted.xyz / www.getwishlisted.xyz / your@email.com with your details - also assumes nginx):

sudo certbot --agree-tos -n --nginx -d getwishlisted.xyz -d www.getwishlisted.xyz -m your@email.com

Successfully received certificate.    
Certificate is saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.getwishlisted.xyz/fullchain.pem    
Key is saved at:         /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.getwishlisted.xyz/privkey.pem    

For the websockets to allow your donation page to update in real time you must now manually edit your websites file.
So Goerge now has to open up his 'getwishlisted.xyz' file in sites-enabled with a text editor e.g. nano and paste this under the original /donate location block: (change the proxy_ssl lines accordignly) (refer to the bottom of this guide where i show what the end version of the file looks like)

location /donate/ws {
    proxy_pass http://172.20.111.2:8000;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.getwishlisted.xyz/fullchain.pem;
    proxy_ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.getwishlisted.xyz/privkey.pem;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
}

Now we must close our eyes, click our heels together and hope for the best while restarting our nginx server:

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

If there are any errors then again, refer to the bottom of the guide to see how it should look.

At this point we need to cd to our /home folder and download the docker-compose file:

curl https://github.com/raw/plowsof/flipstarter-waas-wip/main/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml

Perfect. Now lets install docker and docker-compose with these handy install scripts:

 curl -fsSL https://test.docker.com -o test-docker.sh
 sudo sh test-docker.sh

now to install docker-compose:

 sudo curl -L --fail https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/run.sh -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
 sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

I can now start the wishlist the same way as i did locally: (in the same dir as docker-compose.yml not in the ssl folder
Dont forget to go back to the same dir as your docker-compose file using cd.. then:

sudo docker-compose up -d

And get on the terminal inside it using:

sudo docker exec -it fresh /bin/bash

from here (you will already be in /home/app) you can run setup_wallets.py using:

python3 setup_wallets.py

You can choose to paste your viewkeys or have wallets created for you (Write the seed words down though! else your money is gone forever)
when finished press ctrl+p then ctrl+q to detatch from the docker container

Editing wishes

edit_wishlist.py will allow you to:

• add / delete wishes
• edit values / titles / descriptions
• add a custom status e.g. WIP / RELEASED
• add a recurring montlhy payment e.g. -$100 USD each month To access it, just terminal into the container as before and run:

python3 edit_wishlist.py

Then follow the instructions

Wallets / Seeing Donations

WaaS is based on these 3 wallets:

• Feather Wallet
• WOWlet
• Electron-cash
• Electrum
  Some donations may not appear in your wallet because of something called a gap limit. In Electron-cash / Electrum to go view -> console. And paste this line: (or you can get the exact number by runnning python3 edit_wishlist then selecting option 5) Wallet Gap limits)

for i in range(0, 100): print(wallet.create_new_address(False))

You should be able to see any missing donations then. Repeat it if needed.
You do not need to update the front end. by default it comes with one. everything to be edited (title etc) is inside the docker-compose.yml file

Updating the front end using a template from waas-templates

Follow the instructions in the github readme of waas-templates. The only issue you will have here is if your browser / domain provider is storing things in the cache. ctrl+f5 will purge your local browser. See your domain providers instructions on how to purge its cache if you can't see updates.

Updating the backend

The container must be stopped, image removed, and then the docker-compose file ran again to get the new version: (in the same dir as docker-compose.yml)

sudo docker stop fresh && \
sudo docker rmi plowsof/waas:latest --force && \
sudo docker-compose up -d

If you run into issues, it must not be running in docker ps list, and you can use --force after the remove commands.
docker images will give you an image id to use if all else fails docker image rm <imageid> --force. do not delete the docker compose image!
Ignore the error message when trying docker-compose up -d the wishlist data is safe.

Here is what my nginx.conf file (getwishlisted.xyz) looks like:

server {
    root /var/www/html;
    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
    server_name getwishlisted.xyz www.getwishlisted.xyz custom;
        location /donate {
            proxy_pass http://172.20.111.2:8000;
        }
        location /donate/ws {
            proxy_pass http://172.20.111.2:8000;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.getwishlisted.xyz/fullchain.pem;
            proxy_ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.getwishlisted.xyz/privkey.pem;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
        }

    listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.getwishlisted.xyz/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.getwishlisted.xyz/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
    if ($host = www.getwishlisted.xyz) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot
    if ($host = getwishlisted.xyz) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name getwishlisted.xyz www.getwishlisted.xyz;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot
}

Testing on stagenet/testnet

All 5 of the remote nodes in docker-compose.yml must be replaced with stagenet ones, and then set waas_mainnet=0.
Switching back and forth is a litte tricky as you have to delete the wishlist text file rm static/data/wishlist-data.json and run python3 setup_wallets.py again to create your wishlist/mainnet wallets.

TODO

This is still in beta so i must do some sanity checks

• sanity checks
• Raspberry Pi docker image (64bit as the Pi Zero 2 will be supporting 64 bit 'out of the box' soon(tm))

Support

The initial funding for this project was obtained through Bitcoin-cash' crowdfunding system - FlipStarter.
I will not be asking for any donations for this particular projects further development until someone using this WaaS receives their first (mainnet) donation / and i have fulfilled my FlipStarter promises. I think thats fair right? :)
