monero-wallet-rpc requires to use of a pre-generated wallet to run. E.g.:

./monero-wallet-rpc --rpc-bind-port 28083 --wallet-file monerowallet --disable-rpc-login

Whereas I want to allow users to create wallets at runtime with the RPC. Is it even possible?

Yes you can do this. First make sure you start the wallet RPC with a wallet dir that exists and is writeable. Next you can make use of the methods create_wallet, open_wallet and close_wallet. All the methods are documented here: https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/wallet-rpc.html

I don't recall if you are required to start the RPC with an existing wallet, but if you are, just create an empty wallet to use for starting up the wallet RPC with.

  • should I always call close_wallet before creating another one?

  • You don't need to, it is done automatically.
