Annoyed and Want to Change CORE RTL Alias

Bitcoin and Lightning
1

I wasn’t a fan of the default name for my lightning node as assigned by CORE RTL. Here’s how to change it.

Create a config File to Set the Alias

  • Stop CORE RTL Server
  • SSH into your umbrel
  • Since no plain-text config was found, create one:

Execute the following two commands:

touch /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/core-lightning/data/lightningd/config nano /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/core-lightning/data/lightningd/config

  • Add: alias=MyCoolNodeNameThatDoesntSuck

Save and exit (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).

Restart Core RTL
