My Lightning node has stopped working, and I am getting the error below. I have managed to run lncli unlock with the default passphrase. However, I still get :
lightning_app_1 | Unable to get lnd information, wallet locked, unlock it to enable full RPC access
This is what happens in the logs when I run lncli unlock:
