For testing LNbits, you need to create a LNbits account first via the web interface.

By default, you can access it at localhost:5001 (see LNBITS_WEB_PORT in .env.development).

After you created a wallet, you should find the invoice and admin key under Node URL, API keys and API docs.

[!IMPORTANT]

Since your browser is running on your host machine but the server is running inside a docker container, the server will not be able to reach LNbits with localhost:5001 to create invoices. This makes it hard to test send+receive at the same time.

For now, you need to patch the _createInvoice function in wallets/lnbits/server.js to always use lnbits:5000 as the URL:
