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.
