<p>Jarednxx: Updates to Umbrel have changed the locaiton of lnd.config. Updating accordingly with older/newer versions. https://community.getumbrel.com/t/after-5-0-update-lnd-conf-has-been-erased/8354</p> <hr /> <div>{{ALERT|Your node alias will be publicly visible. Do not put ANY personal information here (like your name).}}<br /> <br /> Want to set an alias for your [[Umbrel]] Node? Follow these steps:<br /> <br /> # Log in to your node [https://www.howtogeek.com/311287/how-to-connect-to-an-ssh-server-from-windows-macos-or-linux/ using SSH]. Usually this means opening a terminal and typing &#039;&#039;&#039;ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local&#039;&#039;&#039;. The user is &#039;&#039;&#039;umbrel&#039;&#039;&#039;. Default password is &#039;&#039;&#039;moneyprintergobrrr&#039;&#039;&#039; for older versions of Umbrel. New versions use the dashboard passord. When typing your password you usually see nothing (for safety).<br /> # (Optional) change your default password by typing &#039;&#039;&#039;passwd&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> # Open the config file. In newer Umbrel versions &#039;&#039;&#039;sudo nano umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf&#039;&#039;&#039; . In older Umbrel versions &#039;&#039;&#039;sudo nano umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf&#039;&#039;&#039; . lnd is small for LND, there are no i&#039;s. It will ask you again for your password (same as before), and you will again not see you entering the password.<br /> # You are now in the editor. Add &#039;&#039;&#039;alias=SOMENAME&#039;&#039;&#039;. This must be added to the first paragraph. Somewhere below the block &#039;&#039;&#039;[Application Options]&#039;&#039;&#039;, not in a different block. <br /> # (Optional) set &#039;&#039;&#039;color=#ff0000&#039;&#039;&#039; or any other hex color, on a new line, just below alias. [https://www.color-hex.com/ find a nice color].<br /> # You will see the commands you can give at the bottom. The caret &#039;&#039;&#039;^&#039;&#039;&#039; means CTRL button. &#039;&#039;&#039;^X&#039;&#039;&#039; is eXit, so use CTRL-X to exit the file. Confirm you want to save the buffer using Y. Press enter for file name (don&#039;t change).<br /> # After you have exited the editor look at the content of the file to confirm the changes. In newer Umbrel versions type &#039;&#039;&#039;cat umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf&#039;&#039;&#039; . In older Umbrel versions type &#039;&#039;&#039;cat umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf&#039;&#039;&#039; .<br /> # Then restart your Umbrel node. You can do this properly from the Umbrel web interface (Settings, Restart)<br /> # IF you have public channels, it will take (max) 2 days for the new node to become visible on [https://1ml.com 1ml.com]. <br /> # If you have [[RTL]] installed you should see the new node name after a restart of RTL, or after logging in again. A node clean restart (using the web interface) should also restart RTL.<br /> <br /> If your terminal freezes you may have pressed CTRL-S. Unfreeze by CTRL-Q.</div>
