LittleShop Development Progress

Project Status: ✅ BTCPAY SERVER MULTI-CRYPTO CONFIGURED - SEPTEMBER 12, 2025

🚀 BTCPAY SERVER DEPLOYMENT (September 11-12, 2025) ✅

Multi-Cryptocurrency BTCPay Server Configured ✅

• Host: Hostinger VPS (srv1002428.hstgr.cloud, thebankofdebbie.giize.com)
• Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Monero (XMR), Ethereum (ETH), Zcash (ZEC)
• Network: Tor integration with onion addresses for privacy
• Storage: Pruned mode configured (Bitcoin: 10GB max, Others: 3GB max)
• Access: Both clearnet HTTPS and Tor onion service available

Critical Technical Breakthrough - Bitcoin Pruning Fix ✅

• Problem: BTCPay Docker Compose YAML parsing broken - BITCOIN_EXTRA_ARGS not passed to container
• Root Cause: BTCPay's docker-compose generator creates corrupted multiline YAML that Docker can't parse
• Multiple Failed Attempts:
  • ❌ Manual bitcoin.conf editing (overwritten by entrypoint script)
  • ❌ docker-compose.yml direct editing (YAML formatting issues)
  • ❌ .env file approach (not inherited properly)
  • ❌ YAML format variations (|-, |, > - all failed)
• SOLUTION: docker-compose.override.yml with clean YAML formatting
• Success Evidence: Prune configured to target 10000 MiB on disk for block and undo files.

BTCPay Configuration Details

• Bitcoin Core: Pruned (10GB max), Tor-only networking (onlynet=onion)
• Dogecoin: Configured but needs pruning configuration applied
• Monero: Daemon operational, wallet configuration in progress
• Ethereum: Configured in BTCPay but container needs investigation
• Zcash: Wallet container present, main daemon needs configuration
• Tor Integration: Complete with hidden service generation
• SSL: Let's Encrypt certificates via nginx proxy

Infrastructure Lessons Learned

• Docker Compose Override Files: Survive BTCPay updates, proper way to customize configuration
• BTCPay Template System: The generated docker-compose.yml gets overwritten on updates
• Bitcoin Container Entrypoint: Completely overwrites bitcoin.conf from BITCOIN_EXTRA_ARGS environment variable
• YAML Parsing Issues: BTCPay's multiline string generation is fragile and often corrupted
• Space Management: Cryptocurrency daemons without pruning consume massive disk space (50-80GB each)

Deployment Architecture

• VPS: Hostinger Debian 13 (394GB storage, 239GB available after cleanup)
• Docker Services: 14 containers including Bitcoin, altcoin daemons, Tor, nginx, PostgreSQL
• Network Security: UFW firewall, SSH on port 2255, Fail2Ban monitoring
• Tor Privacy: All cryptocurrency P2P traffic routed through Tor network
• SSL Termination: nginx reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt certificates

Project Status: ✅ COMPILATION ISSUES RESOLVED - SEPTEMBER 5, 2025

• BotSimulator Fix: Fixed string-to-int conversion error in payment creation
• Security Update: Updated SixLabors.ImageSharp to v3.1.8 (vulnerability fix)
• Test Infrastructure: Installed Playwright browsers for UI testing

Build Status ✅

🔧 Technical Lessons Learned

ASP.NET Core 9.0 Specifics

1. Model Binding Issues: Views need explicit model instances (new CreateDto()) for proper binding
2. Form Binding: Using explicit name attributes more reliable than asp-for helpers in some cases
3. Area Routing: Requires proper route configuration and area attribute on controllers
4. View Engine: Runtime changes to views require application restart in Production mode

Entity Framework Core

1. SQLite Works Well: Handles all complex relationships and transactions properly
2. Query Splitting Warning: Multi-include queries generate warnings but work correctly
3. Migrations: EnsureCreated() sufficient for development, migrations better for production
4. Decimal Precision: Proper decimal(18,2) and decimal(18,8) column types for currency

Authentication Architecture

1. Dual Auth Schemes: Successfully implemented both Cookie (MVC) and JWT (API) authentication
2. Claims-Based Security: Works well for role-based authorization policies
3. Password Security: PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations provides good security
4. Session Management: Cookie authentication handles admin panel sessions properly

BTCPay Server Integration

1. Version Compatibility: BTCPay Server Client v2.0 has different API than v1.x
2. Package Dependencies: NBitcoin version conflicts require careful package management
3. Privacy Focus: Self-hosted approach eliminates third-party data sharing
4. Webhook Processing: Proper async handling for payment status updates

Development Challenges Solved

1. WSL Environment: Required CMD.exe for .NET commands, file locking issues with hot reload
2. View Compilation: Views require app restart in Production mode to pick up changes
3. Form Validation: Empty validation summaries appear due to ModelState checking
4. Static Files: Proper configuration needed for product photo serving
