Can someone advise how I can set my lightning node alias? I have tried it a few ways but get an error each time. Thanks!

Moderator Edit: These steps are now obsolete in the new version, to summarize lnd.conf is used for non-UI settings and you can now change your alias directly from the UI in Lightning Node advanced settings! You may reference “Updating Your Lightning Node’s Alias” in our Official FAQ guide here (a…

Awesome. Easy to follow instructions that make this really easy to understand and complete. Thanks!

Nice, that worked out. I can se my ALIAS i RTL but I can not see it showing in https://explorer.acinq.co/ Do you know why?

Thanx for posting this, Deeke. I had to review how to use the editor, but it worked just like you said. Good job.

Ha, first time I did this it didn’t work, total newb, because I used ‘i’ instead of ‘l’ for lnd.conf (i thought it was a capital I, but it is lower l for lightning network daemon).

I would also like to know the answer to this question :smiley:

Thanks for the tutorial In umbrel 0.5.0 the path has now changed to sudo nano umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf All worked fine (now I can fill it)

so be it, I will no longer use umbrel in the future as I will switch to a bare metal node :slight_smile:

To restart lnd, I used: docker-compose restart lnd But i get an error message. did the command change?

Any suggestions on which option I should select? I tried entering a few but nothing happened. Thank you. [Screen Shot 2022-07-30 at 11.53.47 PM]
