Umbrel as watchtower

Support and Troubleshooting
1

Hi I want to try to make my umbrel an watchtower

I was playing around adding

[watchtower]
watchtower.active=1

to lnd.conf + restarting the node as a first step.

From my understanding after restart I should be able to get into
docker exec -it lnd sh

and than run lncli tower info

Sadly the first command fails with
Error response from daemon: Container XXX is restarting, wait until the container is running

Same happens with
[wtclient]
wtclient.active=1

I also tesed =true but with the same error message in both cases. Any idea?

Missing watchtower path-to-files configuration.
But I guess watchtower server is something to put in public nodes. Or if you have several nodes in your intranet.
Keep your nodes running full time and you don´t need any watchtower.
