Hello, I am completely new to Raspberry Pi and Umbrel. I successfully set up the LN node and synced successfully. No problems, until I tried to change my Alias following a lightningwiki.net article. After I thought I saved the lnd.conf file I attempted to restart the node through Umbrel. I let it re…

Any wrong edit in that lnd.conf file end up in breaking your node start. Any space or wrong line will make that important file unusable. Be careful how you edit it. You should always keep an original copy of Umbrel lnd.conf file to be able to restore.

If your Umbrel is already dead but you still have the channels.backup and want to participate in a test, I posted here something interesting .

Darth, I’m going to chalk the new drive up as dead including the channel and the funds on that channel since the drive is inaccessible and the MicroSD has been reformated. Expensive lesson but will circle back on if there is hope to recover that channel by normal procedures and dig into participatin…
