Config

First time lntop is used a config file .lntop/config.toml is created in the user home directory.

[logger]
type = "production"
dest = "/root/.lntop/lntop.log"

[network]
name = "lnd"
type = "lnd"
address = "//127.0.0.1:10009"
cert = "/root/.lnd/tls.cert"
macaroon = "/root/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/admin.macaroon"
macaroon_timeout = 60
max_msg_recv_size = 52428800
conn_timeout = 1000000
pool_capacity = 3

Change macaroon path according to your network.

Docker

If you prefer to run lntop from a docker container:

cd docker

# now you should review ./lntop/home/initial-config.toml
# if you have an existing .lntop directory, you can export it
# export LNTOP_HOME=~/.lntop
# ! change path to files in .lntop/config with user current directory /root !

# point LND_HOME to your actual lnd directory
# we recommend using .envrc with direnv
export LND_HOME=~/.lnd

# build the container
./build.sh

# run lntop from the container
./lntop.sh

# lntop data will be mapped to host folder at ./_volumes/lntop-data

To see lntop logs, you can tail them in another terminal session via:

./logs.sh -f

To start from scratch:

./clean.sh
./build.sh --no-cache
