Is it possible to list the transactions, balances etc. in the on-chain wallet using command line (from the ssh)? Do I use bitcoin cli or lnd cli?

I’m not sure about the command line, but if you install the RTL app from the Umbrel app store it allows you to list them.

@inna  
You’d need lncli cuz it’s a lnd wallet.  
` lncli --help` (for all commands available)

`lncli walletbalance`  
`lncli listchannels`  
`lncli listpayments`  
`lncli listpeers`  
etc.

to access those commands do you have to install the `lnd` official release binary? having installed umbrel doesnt allow those commands to work?
