docs: describe running against zebrad instead of the deprecated zcashd - #594
Merged
Conversation
The README's setup instructions predate zebrad support: they direct the reader to configure a zcashd instance, although zcashd is deprecated and lightwalletd already accepts a zebrad.toml via --zcash-conf-path and detects the zebrad backend at startup. Rewrite the local and production setup instructions zebrad-first, and add a grpcurl health-check section so operators can verify both the gRPC frontend and the backend connection after starting the server.

zcashd is deprecated, but the README's setup instructions still directed readers to configure a zcashd instance. This rewrites the setup documentation to be zebrad-first:
Zcashdsection with aZebradsection covering the[rpc]configuration (listen_addr,enable_cookie_auth = false) that lightwalletd requires.--zcash-conf-pathat azebrad.toml, and document that the file extension selects the config format (zebrad.tomlvs. zcashd-style.conf), along with the--rpchost/--rpcport/--rpcuser/--rpcpasswordalternative.GetLightdInfowith grpcurl. The server answers this RPC by querying the backend node, so a successful reply verifies both the gRPC frontend and the backend connection. gRPC reflection is enabled at the default log level, so grpcurl needs no.protofiles.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
