How to change the alias name in Core Lightning Node?

Support and Troubleshooting
1

In Lightning Node (LND) it´s easily possible to adjust the alias name.

How can I do the same thing if I want to use the Core Lightning Node ?

I believe you can add it here, but I’ll need to confirm.

sudo nano ~/umbrel/app-data/core-lightning/data/app/config.json

{

“unit”: “SATS”,

“fiatUnit”: “AUD”,

“appMode”:“DARK”,

“isLoading”: false,

“error”: null,

“alias”: “…”,

}

I tried to customize my Core LND name as well, only to get a black screen after logging in, I uninstalled and reinstalled and got a new name, but not the custom one I set in the plain lightning, anyone have a way to set the same name in CORE lnd?

Sorry I can´t help you here because in the end I didn´t install Core Lightning but LND

It didn’t work for me. How can I change the node name? Is there another file than I can change?
