Run Lightning Terminal with a remote LND instance

To connect Lightning Terminal to a remote LND instance first make sure your lnd.conf file contains the following additional configuration settings:

tlsextraip=<externally-reachable-ip-address>
rpclisten=0.0.0.0:10009
rpcmiddleware.enable=true

Copy the following files that are located in your ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet directory on your remote machine to /some/folder/with/lnd/data/ on your local machine (where you’ll be running LiT):

• tls.cert
• admin.macaroon

Create a lit.conf file. The default location LiT will look for the configuration file depends on your operating system:

• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Lit/lit.conf
• Linux: ~/.lit/lit.conf
• Windows: ~/AppData/Roaming/Lit/lit.conf

Alternatively you can specify a different location by passing --lit-dir=~/.lit. After creating lit.conf populate it with the following configuration settings:

remote.lnd.rpcserver=<externally-reachable-ip-address>:10009
remote.lnd.macaroonpath=/some/folder/with/lnd/data/admin.macaroon
remote.lnd.tlscertpath=/some/folder/with/lnd/data/tls.cert

Run LiT:

⛰  ./litd --uipassword=UP48lm4VjqxmOxB9X9stry6VTKBRQI

Visit https://localhost:8443 to access LiT.

For further information on configuring LiT in remote mode see these instructions.
