You can enable loop with your configuration.nix:

  # Enable this module to use lightninglab's non-custodial off/on chain bridge.
  # loopd (lightning-loop daemon) will be started automatically. Users can
  # interact with off/on chain bridge using `loop in` and `loop out`.
  # services.lightning-loop.enable = true;

nix-bitcoin-0.0.3

Changelog:

• https://github.com/fort-nix/nix-bitcoin/pull/155

This is the first release of nix-bitcoin. It changes the way how nix-bitcoin is supposed to be used for deployments. The old way of keeping up with nix-bitcoin updates - merging upstream changes into the own deployment via git pull - is now deprecated. This means that nix-bitcoin is from now on updated through releases, which can be fetched with the fetch-release command in the nix-shell (see the update doc).

The main difference is that in order to deploy nix-bitcoin you are not supposed to fork and modify this repository anymore.
Instead, you have your own repository with a configuration.nix and import a release of nix-bitcoin. See the examples/ directory and in particular the shell.nix for how this works now and PR #136 for the actual changes that led to this release.

Migration guide

Note that since nix-bitcoin can be used in various ways. There's no single migration guide that can cover everything. This migration guide covers a installation on NixOS that is deployed with NixOps.
In particular, have a look at examples/shell.nix, the changes to installation instructions, as well as the new update process (PR #136).
If you have further questions I'm happy to assist in #nix-bitcoin on freenode.

1. Update nix-bitcoin to latest commit before the release (b9fbb144cae9aa8c8d7ebe143ac02c3b1e15651d) and make sure your version of nix-bitcoin does not change existing files but configuration.nix.
2. Create a new directory for you deployment

mkdir my-nix-bitcoin
mkdir my-nix-bitcoin/nixops
cp nix-bitcoin/{configuration.nix,hardware-configuration.nix} ./my-nix-bitcoin
cp nix-bitcoin/network/network-nixos.nix ./my-nix-bitcoin/nixops/node-nixos.nix

3. Now pull nix-bitcoin, fetch the release, and copy the new nixops node file and shell.nix.

cd nix-bitcoin
git pull
cd examples
nix-shell
fetch-release > ../../my-nix-bitcoin/nix-bitcoin-release.nix
cp nixops/node.nix ../../my-nix-bitcoin/nixops/node.nix
cp shell.nix ../../my-nix-bitcoin/

4. Go into your new deployment directory my-nix-bitcoin, open configuration.nix and replace ./modules/nix-bitcoin.nix with <nix-bitcoin/modules/nix-bitcoin.nix> in the imports array.
5. Enter the nix-shell and modify your deployment to allow nixops to find your new deployment files

nix-shell
nixops modify -d bitcoin-node nixops/node.nix nixops/node-nixos.nix

6. Run nixops deploy
7. You can create a new git repo in my-nix-bitcoin (add secrets/ to .gitignore)
