### Backups
Given that ntfy is almost stateless, no backups are made. If it blows up, simply set it up again.
## LNBits
LNBits is a Lightning Network wallet and accounts system.
### Deploy
* Decide what subdomain you want to serve LNBits on and add it to `services/lnbits/lnbits_vars.yml` on the `lnbits_subdomain`.
* Note that you will have to add a DNS entry to point to the VPS public IP.
* Run the deployment playbook: `ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini services/lnbits/deploy_lnbits_playbook.yml`.
### Configure
* LNBits will be available for you to create a superuser on first start. Do that and store the creds safely.
* From that point on, you can configure through the Web UI.
* Some advice around specifics of LNbits:
* The default setup uses a FakeWallet backend for testing. Configure a real Lightning backend as needed by modifying the `.env` file located or using the superuser UI.
* For security, disable the new users registration.
### Set up backups to Lapy
* Make sure rsync is available on the host and on Lapy.
* Run the backup playbook: `ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini services/lnbits/setup_backup_lnbits_to_lapy.yml`.
* A first backup process gets executed and then a cronjob is set up to refresh backups periodically. The script backs up both the `.env` file and the sqlite database. Backups are gpg encrypted for safety.
### Restoring to a previous state
* Stop LNBits.
* Overwrite the data folder with one of the backups.
* Start it up again.
