Bisq Daemon for Umbrel

Run a full Bisq node on your Umbrel to trade Bitcoin privately and without intermediaries.
This app integrates Bisq with your Umbrel Bitcoin Core, runs 24/7 in the background, and is Tor-enabled for secure and censorship-resistant access.

Features

• Full Bisq Node: Connects directly to Umbrel Bitcoin Core to validate Bisq’s DAO state.
• Always-On: Runs continuously as a background service.
• Secure API: Exposes Bisq’s gRPC API, protected with a password.
• Tor Integration: Automatically available as a Tor hidden service.
• Persistent Data: Wallets, keys, and DAO state are stored in /data/bisq.
• Multi-Architecture: Works on Raspberry Pi (arm64) and x86_64 servers.

Use Cases

• Trade Bitcoin in a decentralized way without relying on centralized exchanges.
• Prepare for upcoming Bisq mobile apps (iOS/Android) that can connect to your own node.
• Host your own sovereign infrastructure and remain fully in control of funds and data.

Installation

This app can be installed via the Umbrel App Store or from your own community app store.

To install from source:

# Clone this repo into your Umbrel apps directory
git clone https://github.com/YOURNAME/umbrel-app-bisq.git

Then use Umbrel’s developer tools (umbrel-dev) to run it locally.

Security & Backups

• Protect your API password and Bisq seed at all times.
• Regularly back up /data/bisq (wallets, identities, DAO state).
• Consider running in Tor-only mode for maximum privacy.
