-# fixturenet-payments-lite
-
-Instructions to setup and deploy an end-to-end fixturenet-payments-lite stack, on a local machine. Some tips are included for running on a remote cloud machine.
-
-## Setup
-
-Clone required repositories:
-
-```bash
-laconic-so --stack fixturenet-nitro setup-repositories --pull
-```
-
-Build the container imagesfixturenet-payments-lite:
-
-```bash
-laconic-so --stack fixturenet-nitro build-containers
-```
-
-## Deploy
-
-Deploy the stack:
-
-```bash
-laconic-so --stack fixturenet-nitro deploy --cluster payments up
-```
-
-```bash
-# Exposed on host ports:
-# 32***: geth in statediffing mode and ipld-eth-server(s)
-# 4005: in-process go-nitro node's RPC endpoint
-# 3005: in-process go-nitro node's p2p TCP endpoint
-# 5005: in-process go-nitro node's p2p WS endpoint
-# 4006: out-of-process go-nitro node's RPC endpoint
-# 3006: out-of-process go-nitro node's p2p TCP endpoint
-# 5006: out-of-process go-nitro node's p2p WS endpoint
-# 15432: MobyMask v3 watcher's db endpoint
-# 3001: MobyMask v3 watcher endpoint
-# 9090: MobyMask v3 watcher relay node endpoint
-# 8080: MobyMask snap
-# 3004: MobyMask v3 app
-# 42070: Ponder indexer-1
-# 42071: Ponder indexer-2
-# 42069: Ponder watcher
-```
-
-If running in the cloud, ensure all the of the above ports are open. The geth port can be retrieved with:
-
-```bash
-docker port payments-fixturenet-eth-geth-1-1 8545
-```
-
-Then for every port above, run each line in a new terminal window (or use `screen`):
-
-```bash
-ssh -L 4005:localhost:4005 user@<your-ip>
-ssh -L 5005:localhost:5005 user@<your-ip>
-ssh -L 8081:localhost:8081 user@<your-ip>
-# ... and so on for every port
-```
-
-This will allow you to access the entirety of the app as if it were running locally.
-
-## Demo
-
-- Follow the [mobymask-demo](./mobymask-demo.md) to try out MobyMask end-to-end payments.
-- Follow the [ponder-demo](./ponder-demo.md) to try out Ponder end-to-end payments.
-
-## Clean up
-
-Stop all the services running in background:
-
-```bash
-laconic-so --stack fixturenet-nitro deploy --cluster payments down 30
-```
-
-Clear volumes created by this stack:
-
-```bash
-# List all relevant volumes
-docker volume ls -q --filter "name=payments"
-
-# Remove all the listed volumes
-docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q --filter "name=payments")
-```
