Thanks, n080dy! I used Brave, and it works fine.

After 0.5 update charge-lnd didn’t find the tls.cert beause of a new directory. This change was helpful:

docker run --rm -it --network=umbrel_main_network
-e GRPC_LOCATION=:10009
-e LND_DIR=/data/.lnd
-e CONFIG_LOCATION=/app/charge.config
-v /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd:/data/.lnd
-v /mnt/data/upgrades/charge-lnd/charge.config:/app/charge.config
accumulator/charge-lnd:latest

I just noticed too charge-lnd throws a bunch of errors. Do you have a pointer where should I make changes?

Still keeps teling me that the the tls.cert does not exist. I have tried every permutation of the path

Automated Fee Policy seems like the kind of thing that would be worth gold if someone were able to build a GUI around it. Do we know if anyone is working on that?

Particularly for someone like myself who is not 100% comfortable running commands—and I have to believe this is a large and growing set of Umbrel users—implementing scripts from a community post that is months or years old is risky.

Or is this feature already included somewhere (ie. Thunderhub? RTL? LNDg?) and I’m just overlooking?

Please make this tutorial for Charge-lnd for the Lightning Shell App. It great it has Rebalance, Charge-lnd ect ect. Too bad not a readable tutorial anywhere on how to use it the app.

Hi node runners,
could you please help me with the commands? My Umbel (latest version) behave strange and I can’t find a way how to try charge-lnd.

My steps:

  • I installed Lightning Shell via App store
  • I used ssh -t umbrel@Umbrel.local
  • I created Config in /mnt/data/upgrades/charge_lnd/charge_lnd.config
  • I tried to test the config by using --config

No matter what I try the charge-lnd is not able to find the stupid config. In last 4-5 hours I tried all possible ideas what I was able to find online.

Can anyone help me? I am using Umbrel in a Linux PC.

I think your path is wrong, try this from above

docker run --rm -it --network=umbrel_main_network
-e GRPC_LOCATION=:10009
-e LND_DIR=/data/.lnd
-e CONFIG_LOCATION=/app/charge.config
-v /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd:/data/.lnd
-v /mnt/data/upgrades/charge-lnd/charge.config:/app/charge.config
accumulator/charge-lnd:latest
