Correct. It is a software that does not store private keys but acts as a server to serve lightweight wallets that would connect to it remotely. Electrumx does not store or generate private keys but my concern is running binary blobs that someone else created. The advantages of open source software only apply if you can confirm it was created from the source code. This is why I compile everything I can or use binaries based on reproducible build process. I am also wanting to run electrumx in a virtual environment under a dedicated user account on the linux box with lowest privileges. And the reason I want to be able to build from a local directory so that I can be self sufficient and be able to archive the software source code and all needed dependencies to spin up other servers or replace the server in a post disaster situation where internet or python pip package servers might be down. My bitcoin server also has very strict firewall rules that would inhibit the ability to connect to python servers. This is why I want to download the all the source code on my laptop then transfer to the server. But there are SO MANY dependencies. Electrumx has a few dependencies then each of those dependencies have more dependencies and on and on. I guess it might be possible to do what I want by manually downloading the source code of the close to 20 dependencies, manually verify the git tags and signatures. Then "python setup.py install" each one individually in the right order. This might work? I didn't know if there was an easier way. I did find out I could "pip download -r requirements.txt" but this downloads binaries specific for x86. My cpu architecture is aarch64. Is there a way to pip download -r requirements.txt source only or specify aarch64?
