I installed LNbits hoping to experiment with running my own Cashu mint. But there is no Cashu extension available in the LNbits instance I installed. Is there some other way to get that extension?
Cashu has been moved to its own repo and is no longer under vetting by LNbits (which is kind of not a big deal in this particular case as the dev of Cashu works closely with the dev of LNbits)
To get access to Cashu in your lists of available plugins you’d have to go into your LNbits settings as an admin and add the manifest json yourself as a source of extensions.
- Login with a user that has access
- In the sidebar menu, click Server (under Manage)
- Visit the Server tab and scroll down to the bottom
- In extensions, where it says Source URL, paste https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cashubtc/lnbits-cashu/main/manifest.json
- Hit the little +, scroll up, and hit Save

May I ask if you have been successfull? I did that and when I try to add my newly created mint in my existing cashu wallet… it says: failed to fetch mint.
It’s no longer being maintained, I’m afraid. I’m not sure what the best way to run Cashu in a self-hosted way is currently.
The extension works fine in lnbits. The created mint works with a new cashu-instance (clicking on the cashu link in the newly created mint-page directly)… but adding the newly created mint-link to an existing cashu instance… - Error message.
So what’s the question exactly, and how can I help?
As far as I’m understanding there may be an issue here to report to Calle, the developer, who as far as I’m aware isn’t currently maintaining this software.
Please correct me if there is something I can do to help.
