Lightning Support

We support both Lightning Network Daemon (lnd) and clightning. An example config for lnd can be found in /docs/config_lightning.py.

If installing the python library lndgrpc requirement failed, see this solution.

LND

To connect to a LND node, you need to set payment_methods = ["lnd", "bitcoind"] in config.toml, and set your lightning directory on your node.

[lnd]
host = "127.0.0.1"
lnd_dir = "~/.lnd/"
lnd_rpcport = "10009"
lnd_macaroon = "invoice.macaroon"

clightning

To use clightning, you need to set payment_methods = ["clightning", "bitcoind"] in config.toml, and

[clightning]
clightning_rpc_file = "/home/user/.lightning/bitcoin/lightning-rpc"

If remote clightning, make sure ssh -nNT -L {local_lightning-rpc}:{remote_lightning-rpc} {tunnel_host} creates a lightning-rpc unix domain socket. (use full paths local: /home/install/satsale/lightning-rpc).

Notes

Your lnd directory is used to find your .tls and .macaroon files that are required to talk to your lightning node. They are copied over SSH into your SatSale folder. If this copy fails, perhaps copy them manually and they will be identified on start up.

Your node will require sufficient liquidity and connection to receive payments.
