The old key expires in a month or so. We recently updated the key to use
a newer expiry date. This commit updates the link to point to the
updated gist.
In this commit, we update the link to the security PGP key to a gist. We
do this as recent DoS attacks against popular keservers have rendered
many of them unresponsive or only partially operating. As a temporary
measure, we link to a gist until an alternative solution is found.
This commit satisfies the auto-build functionality desired in #722 without changing anything in the docker folder. This allows development and testing to continue to build and use images locally, but external users get a very lean Docker image they can use. The size difference is appreciable.

Right before merging this PR, an Automated Build repository should be configured on the appropriate account (lightningnetwork?) on Docker Hub with the name of lnd in order to match documentation.
I see there are already some repositories created, however I think best practice for Docker is to have a single repository and different tags for different architectures. The included image is based off of Alpine, but in the future we could extend into multiple Dockerfiles (example: ARM support, or being Ubuntu based).
So in this proposed scenario, lightningnetwork/lnd:latest would be alpine, but lightningnetwork/lnd:ubuntu would be an ubuntu-based image, for example.
(With thanks to @alingenhag for https://github.com/f-u-z-z-l-e/docker-lnd/ from which I borrowed heavily)
In this commit, we modify the docs in order to clarify that both btcd
and bitcoind are supported as chain backends. Many users expressed
confusion as the old set of docs stated that we "require" my btcd fork,
rather than clarifying that *if* you want to use btcd, then you must use
my fork.
This commit fixes two incorrect links in the readme to
dev.lightning.community and api.lightning.community. The two links were
lacking the http:// prefix, and Github's parser didn't automatically
recognize the new TLD. As a result, the links wouldn't automatically
show as clickable. With this commit, we've added the prefix, ensuring
that the links are properly clickable.
The Markdown for badges in the README has newlines incorrectly separating the
images from the associated URL link, causing the link URLs to show up as text.
This removes the newlines so that the badges render properly.
This commit updates the build, installation, and upgrade instructions to use
Glide which allows for reproducible builds using Golang 1.5 or 1.6.
As a result, if one wishes to ensure they've properly installed lnd, the `go
get` command can no longer be used to install lnd.
