Is there a way to view my Bitcoin node’s peers on Umbrel? I could do it on my Windows laptop by just running the Bitcoin Core software and viewing peers through the UI.

How can I see peers (both incoming and outgoing) on my Umbrel node?

If you’d like more specific information about your peers, you can use these steps:

1. Go to Settings \> Advanced Settings \> Terminal \> App (select app) \> Bitcoin to open a terminal session
2. Run `bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo`

OK, I was able to open up a terminal window, but `bitcoin-cli` doesn’t run from the default directory. Where is the program installed?
