Alert! Be careful!
Your node alias will be publicly visible. Do not put ANY personal information here (like your name).

Want to set an alias for your Umbrel Node? Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your node using SSH. Usually this means opening a terminal and typing ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local. The user is umbrel. Default password is moneyprintergobrrr . When typing your password you usually see nothing (for safety).
  2. (Optional) change your default password by typing passwd
  3. Open the config file sudo nano umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf . lnd is small for LND, there are no i's. It will ask you again for your password (same as before), and you will again not see you entering the password.
  4. You are now in the editor. Add alias=SOMENAME. This must be added to the first paragraph. Somewhere below the block [Application Options], not in a different block.
  5. You will see the commands you can give at the bottom. The caret ^ means CTRL button. ^X 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't change).
  6. After you have exited the editor, type cat umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf to look at the content of the file.
  7. Then restart your Umbrel node. You can do this properly from the Umbrel web interface (Settings, Restart)
  8. IF you have public channels, it will take (max) 2 days for the new node to become visible on 1ml.com.
  9. If you have RTL installed you should see the new node name after a restart of RTL. A node clean restart (using the web interface) should also restart RTL.
