If anyone has attempted a recovery and uninstalling and reinstalling Lightning Node app (rebooting Umbrel and rebooting your router prior to reinstalling we’ve also seen gets the recovery window to populate channels)
The intended behavior of Automated Recovery is demonstrated here
It will recover channels and close them, returning all funds onchain
We then can investigate as well any problematic channels with offline peers etc.
Then follow the steps here from the previous post, we do request the following information to provide the backup channel for you manually if it is not populating:
-
We have the ability to provide this backup to you to attempt if you please share an estimated time when you went down, the date/time
-
Also, the time when you brought the Lightning Node back online also helps too, as close as you can, your backup ID, and we can provide the channel backup file
-
You can run this command to grab your backup ID:
cat ~/umbrel/logs/karen.log | grep 'backup ID' | tail -n 1
And can provide your backup ID that populates and we can send it to you to upload
(also make sure your seed phrase is only running on one instance at a time)
Can reference here in FAQ on How to SSH
The output of the backup ID will only be a few lines including its long alphanumeric string feel free to post this here as well as the requested info from the steps above with time (any other extenuating factors or details about the last time your node was online/when you went down, last time you opened or closed any channels, or any other issue that led to you having to perform a disaster recovery helps us investigate)
