Lightning Live with LNPlay
summary
LNPlay creates closed regtest Lightning Network environments by deploying one Bitcoin Core and many Core Lightning nodes inside a single VM with Docker, TLS, and Let’s Encrypt, exposing REST and websocket ports and generating CLAMs remote QR codes for attendees. It scales to 200+ Core Lightning nodes for conference demos, supports Bolt12 prisms, a Reckless wrapper, CLboss for automated channels, a channel-graph visualizer, and a widget guide; deployments are reproducible and used successfully at meetups and hackathons.
