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`:
