This used to restart lnd: /home/umbrel/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning restart lnd  
But now I get “This script requires “docker-compose” to be installed”

How can I restart an individual app (lnd) without restarting the whole Umbrel?

Hey, you either restart it via web interface by right-clicking the app and hitting ‘restart’ or you can restart it via terminal by executing

```auto
umbreld client apps.restart.mutate --appId lightning

```

In fact, you can simply stop/start/restart any application this way, you just need to change the appropriate appId in this command.

I chose to restart lnd by right clicking the app. This gave me a lot of “lightning\_lnd\_1 | 2024-06-22 04:02:18.029 [ERR] RPCS: [/chainrpc.ChainNotifier/RegisterBlockEpochNtfn]: chain notifier RPC is still in the process of starting”, so I restarted Umbrel, which just gave me the hour long stream of "lightning\_lnd\_1 | 2024-06-22 04:32:18.902 [ERR] RPCS: [/lnrpc.Lightning/GetInfo]: waiting to start, RPC services not available.

[INF] LTND: Database(s) now open (time\_to\_open=1h18m4.670041857s)!

Why are these RPC services to slooow to start?

I have no idea. It takes \>20 minutes for my LND to start. With umbrelOS 1.1 it was much much quicker, like 2 minutes or so.
