Hi everyone. I’m running a node has 200+ channels, but it loses connection with other nodes every other day or even twice a day sometimes. It’s like 30 channels go offline first, then it keep losing channels gradually towards 170 offline over time. Interestingly, around 30 channels (I’m not sure whe…

Well, it starts happening once channel.db is around 14GB. I decided to be a hybrid node with help of this article , and it works pretty well so far.

Thanks for the instruction. The port was closed somehow, so opened to my node then rebooted now. But the debug log keeps saying the same thing… Bitcoin Core logs ----------------- Attaching to bitcoin bitcoin | 2022-02-26T20:37:09Z New outbound peer connected: version: 70016, blocks=…

Can you add a screenshot of htop when node is in disconnected state (before reboot). I had a memory leak in a process that made my Umbrel/lnd unresponsive.

Currently, 85 channels out of 200 have been disconnected. Debug log says same thing. I know the number of disconnected channels increase overtime and never come back, so will reboot now… Here’s screenshot of htop before rebooting. cpu% [cpu%] mem% [mem%]

Lnd looks very bad… 11G virtual ram. CPU load looks bad 4.85. Do you know the size of your lnd dB? Have you ever compacted it?

Right now, channel.db is 7.6GB. It used to be 20GB+ at maximum mostly due to dozens of channels have large footprint. Closed and reopened top 5 largest footprint channels helped me to reduce 12GB, so I’m going to continue to do the work. Do you think the size is somewhat related to the disconnect/t…

If majority of your peers are using that damn script charge-lnd, your are kinda fucked. As I explained here, that script is affecting lots of nodes.

What about rebalance-lnd ? it conflicts with LNDg if bot are installed in the same node?

I think LNDg is enough and better. but use it punctually, not intensively.

It’s been a week since I migrated to more powerful hardware. I see some random disconnections, but the core issue haven’t happened since then.
