Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you need Rust-based Interledger node components and want to choose between the documented Docker images and a source build.

Who it is for

  • Developers building or exploring Interledger payment services.
  • Operators who want to run the documented node and settlement components with Docker.
  • Rust developers who want to build the project from source or consult its Rust API.

Documented uses

  • Run an Interledger node bundle with sender, receiver and router roles.
  • Interact with a node's HTTP API through the project CLI.
  • Run the documented Ethereum settlement-engine component.
  • Build the Rust project and start its node or CLI binaries.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identified as open source. Docker use requires Docker; a source build lists Git, Redis and the latest stable Rust toolchain as prerequisites.

  • Docker is the documented option when avoiding a source build; the README lists Git, Redis and stable Rust for building from source.
  • The CLI is described as an interface to the node's HTTP API, distinct from the node itself.
  • Ethereum settlement engines are provided as a separate runnable component, and the README notes a separate repository for settlement engines.
  • The README points to separate testnet instructions for a bundle containing the node and settlement engines.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Run the Interledger components with Docker

Pull and start the documented node, HTTP API CLI and Ethereum settlement-engine images.

Before you start

  • Docker

Steps

  1. Pull the interledgerrs/ilp-node, interledgerrs/ilp-cli and interledgerrs/ilp-settlement-ethereum images.

  2. Run the ilp-node image for the sender, receiver and router bundle.

  3. Run the ilp-cli image to interact with the node's HTTP API.

  4. Run the ilp-settlement-ethereum image for the Ethereum settlement engines.

Expected outcome

The three documented components are started as Docker containers.

Guide limitations

  • The README supplies pull and run commands; deployment details beyond those commands are not established.

Source-based practical guide

Build the node and CLI from source

Build the repository and start the documented node and CLI binaries.

Before you start

  • Git
  • Redis
  • Latest stable Rust toolchain

Steps

  1. Clone the interledger-rs repository and change into its directory.

  2. Build the project with cargo build.

  3. Start the node with cargo run --bin ilp-node --.

  4. Start the CLI with cargo run --bin ilp-cli --.

Expected outcome

The repository is built and the README's commands start the node and CLI binaries.

Guide limitations

  • The README says to consult configuration documentation for node configuration.
  • The redis-cell module is needed only when using the documented rate-limit options.
