this link very util for my
Hey, I followed your instructions to set an alias and color for my lightning node. Iām having a problem. I was able to get to application options and add the alias and color. I control x out. I confirm saving the buffer using Y. When I exit the editor and type cat umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd/lnd.conf i get ā cat: umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd/lnd.conf: No such file or directoryā
I rebooted anyway not knowing what to do, probably should have asked questions first in hindsight. My lightning node wonāt open now. Any ideas on what to try? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Iām new to all this and just got a few channels opened.
below is what is in my config file. Iām a union plasterer, not a programmer. lol
GNU nano 3.2 umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf
[Application Options]
maxpendingchannels=3
minchansize=10000
accept-keysend=true
accept-amp=10
alias=Cheebug21
color=ff3c00
[Bitcoin]
bitcoin.defaultchanconfs=2
[rpcmiddleware]
rpcmiddleware.enable=true
The lnd.conf file is now located here: ~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd
The old location is here: ~umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf
Thank you for your quick response. Happy New Year!
hereās what I tried.
when I enter: ~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd
I get: -bash: /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd: Is a directory
I tried: sudo nano ~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd
and it took me to an empty directory.
GNU nano 3.2 /home/umbrel/umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf Modified

I exited out, is there supposed to be a directory? 
I went back and deleted my name and color from
sudo nano umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf
this is what I see,

I save and exit out, instead of

I entered
cat umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf
and I can see my changesā¦

I reboot from settings in umbrel. once complete my lightning node boots up like 55% and stops, amboss indicates my node hasnāt updated in 15 hours. Is there a way to reset my node and access it through my private keys? Did I delete a directory? I did read through just about every other problem people have had and tried to relate it to what I have going on, Iām just in over my head I think. Seems like everyone is able to figure it out but me 
Again, happy new year. Thanks for the help if any.
Tim
ps. Iād be happy to send you some sats for the help once Iām back up and running
I just deleted the app, and recovered from seed phrase. Super easy, now do I manually open the channels or does channel recovery open them?
hey maybe change the ācat umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd/lnd.confā command because there is two times /lnd/ which causes a >> No such file or directory <<
just to get the right checking command for everyone to easy check
cheers
You no longer have to rely on the terminal to update your Lightning Nodeās alias. The Lightning Node app has been recently updated with a more user-friendly feature. Simply access the āAdvanced Settingsā menu within the app and youāll find an option to modify your alias and color.
