There is a Web UI prototype, written in React, which has some initial functionality. The prototype builts upon work done by Shobhitaa, Abhishek, and Adam (waxwing) himself. The screenshots below are from Dennis' branch, commit ba26cf637076444c7fadc82f6538eee5bd3b796a.

GitHub repository: joinmarket-webui/jm-web-client

Wallet Screen (prototype)

Docker Regtest Setup

See docker/regtest/readme.md

RaspiBlitz Setup

While this prototype will hopefully be available as a packaged version soon, here is how you can set it up and play around with it yourself.

Prerequisite: RaspiBlitz with JoinMarket

  1. Install JoininBox on your RaspiBlitz:

You can install it via the RaspiBlitz Services menu: Services > j [BTC JoinMarket+JoininBox menu]

Prerequisite: JoinMarket API Service

  1. As the joinmarket user on your RaspiBlitz, generate a self-signed certificate for the JoinMarket API Service as described here, and put the certificate and the key in the ~/.joinmarket/ssl/ directory.

Hint: To login as the JoinMarket user, you can ssh into your RaspiBlitz, type jm, and exit the JoininBox menu.

Create the SSL directory:

(jmvenv) joinmarket@raspberrypi:~ $ mkdir ~/.joinmarket/ssl/

Generate the certificate and associated key:

openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes -out ~/.joinmarket/ssl/cert.pem -keyout ~/.joinmarket/ssl/key.pem

Hint: You don't have to enter anything meaningful, you can just hit the return key a couple of times.

  1. Start the JoinMarket API service:
(jmvenv) joinmarket@raspberrypi:~/joinmarket-clientserver/scripts $ python jmwalletd.py

You should see the following:

2021-11-18 18:16:57,639 [INFO]  Starting jmwalletd on port: 28183
2021-11-18 18:16:57,661 [INFO]  Joinmarket daemon listening on port 27183
  1. Create an ssh tunnel for the API service. As the joinmarket user, add the following lines to your ~/.ssh/config file:
Host raspiblitz
  HostName 192.168.0.XXX # (IP address of your RaspiBlitz)
  User admin
  ForwardAgent yes
  LocalForward 28183 localhost:28183

Download and Install the Prototype

In short:

$ git clone https://github.com/dennisreimann/jm-web-client.git
$ cd jm-web-client
$ git checkout next
$ cd joinmarket
$ yarn && yarn start

You might have to install yarn via npm install -g yarn.

Note: The above steps will soon change, as soon as this PR is merged.

In any case, if everything works, you should be greeted with the following screen, assuming you have a wallet set up in JoinMarket:
