Your Node. Your Keys. Your Rules.

NimbleNode is a free, open-source Lightning Network stack that turns a bare Linux box into a fully orchestrated, production-grade node — LND, Balance of Satoshis, Lightning Terminal and Thunderhub, wired together with Docker in minutes, not weekends.

The Project

Lightning, Minus
The Headache

Running a Lightning node used to mean stitching together half a dozen services by hand, chasing version mismatches, and praying the config survived a reboot. NimbleNode ends that. It packages the most trusted tools in the ecosystem into a single Docker Compose stack — pull, configure, launch.

No PhD required. NimbleNode handles orchestration, networking and reset logic so you can focus on what actually matters: opening channels, managing liquidity, and owning your keys.

Everything runs on your infrastructure, under your control. Initialize with your own seed phrase and from that first second, the node — and everything it holds — is entirely yours.

Fully open source, MIT-friendly and built to be read, forked and improved: github.com/massmux/nimblenode

⚡

LND — Lightning Network Daemon

The industry-standard implementation by Lightning Labs. Battle-tested, feature-rich, widely supported.

⚖️

Balance of Satoshis (BoS)

CLI toolkit for channel management, rebalancing, fee optimization and automation.

🖥️

Lightning Terminal (LiT)

Visual web dashboard for channels, liquidity and node health, from any browser.

🐳

📊

Thunderhub

Feature-rich dashboard for analytics and visual liquidity insight into your node.

Why NimbleNode

Built To Run.
Built To Trust.

🔐

Truly Non-Custodial

Your wallet is created on first init, from your own seed phrase. NimbleNode never phones home, never touches your funds. Self-custody by design.

🐳

One Stack, Docker-Native

LND, BoS, LiT and Thunderhub ship as coordinated containers. No dependency hell, no manual service wiring — just compose up.

⚡

Minutes, Not Weekends

Clone the repo, fill in a few environment variables, run the installer. A production-grade node, live before your coffee's cold.

🔄

One-Command Reset

Need a clean slate? A single command wipes and resets the environment — ideal for testing, new strategies or fast recovery.

🧅

Clearnet or Tor

Run with a public static IP for maximum connectivity, or route entirely over Tor for zero exposed address. Switch anytime.

🛠️

Nothing Hidden From You

Routing fees, channel policies, peer connections — every parameter is yours to tune. No dashboard stands between you and your node.

Two Ways To Run It

Self-Host, Or Let
Someone Else Rack The Box

NimbleNode is free and open source. Run it yourself on any Linux box you control, or skip the ops work with a dedicated node hosted by Denali PRO.

Path A — Self-Hosted

🖥️ Bring Your Own Box

Any VPS, home server or spare machine with Docker installed. You own the hardware, the keys, and the uptime.

          # clone, configure, launch

          git clone github.com/massmux/nimblenode

          cd nimblenode && cp .env.example .env

          ./scripts/install

Path B — Hosted by Denali PRO

⚡ Dedicated, Pre-Configured

A dedicated VPS with static IP, NimbleNode pre-installed and ready — you just initialize your wallet and start routing.

          # zero setup, full control

          1. purchase plan

          2. receive SSH access

          3. initialize with your own seed
