Hush Lightwalletd is a fork of [lightwalletd](https://github.com/adityapk00/lightwalletd) original from Zcash (ZEC).
It is a backend service that provides a bandwidth-efficient interface to the Hush blockchain for the [SilentDragonLite cli](https://git.hush.is/hush/silentdragonlite-light-cli) and [SilentDragonLite](https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragonLite)

Then start `hushd` in your command window. You might need to run with `-reindex` the first time if you are enabling the `txindex` or `insightexplorer` options for the first time. The reindex might take a while.
#### 2. Get a TLS certificate and run the Lightwalletd frontend
#### 2. Compile lightwalletd
Run the build script.
```
./build.sh
```
#### 3. Get a TLS certificate and run the Lightwalletd frontend
First, get a TLS certificate:
On Ubuntu Linux, **I SUGGEST YOU DO NOT USE SNAPD** and just ```sudo apt install certbot``` and then start on [Step 7 of these instructions by the EFF](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions)
Next you decide how you want to setup lightwalletd - with or without NGINX.
Next you decide how you want to setup lightwalletd - with (Option A) or without NGINX (Option B).
##### Option A: "Let's Encrypt" certificate using NGINX as a reverse proxy
If you running a public-facing server, the easiest way to obtain a certificate is to use a NGINX reverse proxy and get a Let's Encrypt certificate.

Then run the lightwalletd frontend with the following (Note: we use the "-no-tls" option as we are using NGINX as a reverse proxy and letting it handle the TLS authentication for us instead):
```
go run cmd/server/main.go -bind-addr your_host.net:9067 -conf-file ~/.komodo/HUSH3/HUSH3.conf -no-tls
##### Option B: "Let's Encrypt" certificate just using lightwalletd without NGINX
The other option is to configure lightwalletd to handle its own TLS authentication. Once you have a certificate that you want to use (from a certificate authority), pass the certificate to the frontend as follows:
```
go run cmd/server/main.go -bind-addr 127.0.0.1:9067 -conf-file ~/.komodo/HUSH3/HUSH3.conf -tls-cert /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURWEBSITE/fullchain.pem -tls-key /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURWEBSITE/privkey.pem
##### Install deps for cargo on VPS https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html

sudo apt install -y cargo
