RTL no loop option

[stonedhobbit]

I’m running Umbrel 0.5.3 and installed RTL from the app store, which installed version 0.13.2-beta. I opened a channel with an ACINQ node and wanted to use Loop to rebalance.

However, there is no “Loop” option on the left-hand side frame (see attached screenshot)

Why might this happen?

What other options do I have to perform a Loop in order to rebalance on this RTL node on my Umbrel?

Any help is apprecited. Thank you!

Is your Umbrel running Core Lightning or LND?

I run LND, and just checked my RTL menu. The LOOP service seems to have disappeared. I have not used the Loop service recently, though.

If you opened the channel all the liquidity in the channel is on your side. ACINQ is a sink - it mainly pulls sats its way. If you can get some inbound liquidity in another channel, sats from that channel will probably flow in, and route to ACINQ if you set a reasonable fee. Rebalancing the other way (pulling sats from ACINQ) will be much more difficult.

On getting inbound liquidity, see Plebnet

Happy routing!

My Umbrel is running Core Lightning + RTL and does not have Loop.

Thank you for the Plebnet wiki! Will check it out.

I’m experiencing the same issue and discovered that the feature is turned off by default. To activate it, go to Services > Loop. You’ll need to have loopd running and accessible to RTL before enabling the service. However, I’m unsure how to handle this last step.
