Note

To enable new features, this update will require LNDg to reprocess some of your existing data on first load. This will only be required once after update but can take a few minutes to complete depending on your number of existing records (normally less than 1 minute for most users).

Manual Installs Users

You will need to install pandas as an additional requirement

.venv/bin/pip install pandas

Docker/Umbrel Install Users

IF YOU CANNOT LOG INTO YOUR NODE after the update because the password has stopped working, this is because the default data directory has been relocated to allow for a cleaner install process. Follow the steps below to restore your existing database.

1. Stop LNDg
   cd ~/lndg
docker-compose down

2. Update docker-compose.yaml volumes section to the below (Umbrel example) with: nano docker-compose.yaml

volumes:
  - /home/umbrel/umbrel/lnd:/root/.lnd:ro
  - /home/umbrel/lndg/data:/lndg/data:rw

3. Run the following commands
   mkdir data
mv db.sqlite3 data/

4. Continue with update
   docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up -d

LNDg v1.0.1

New Features

Suggested Peers Includes Savings By Volume (the amount you could have saved by peering directly with this node divided by total amount routed through this peer). Also adds Cost To as a value in the routes page of a payment transaction.

Rebalance attempts will no longer be submitted when (your fee * max cost) < peer fee as this scenario could never be successful.

Fixes an edge case in the channels data when uptime of a channel is 0 and fee rates never get set.

View keysends page - you can now click on Keysends in the header of the invoices table to to view received keysend payments.

Autopilot mode - an experimental mode that acts upon the suggestions you would see on the Suggest AR Actions page in order to activate the Enable AR and Disable AR on your behalf, based on a channel's current liquidity and prior flow pattern.

IMPORTANT - Read Before Updating!

Do not worry if your LNDg container or instance does not spin up quite as fast as it usually does for this update.

To enable new features, this update will require LNDg to reprocess some of your existing data on first load. This will only be required once after update but can take a few minutes to complete depending on your number of existing payments (normally less than 2 minute for most users).

LNDg v1.0.0

New Features

Suggested AR Actions

Connect to peer with only pubkey or pubkey@address

Open channel without connecting first

Login required for dashboard access

IMPORTANT - Read Before Updating!

ALL existing users will need to do the following before updating to v1.0.0:

Inside the main lndg folder, initialize a file for your login password to be output at.
touch lndg-admin.txt

UMBREL users will also need to update their docker-compose.yaml to allow the container to persist the file.

Make sure the volumes section now contains a link to the password output file.
- /home/umbrel/lndg/lndg-admin.txt:/lndg/lndg-admin.txt:rw

DOCKER users will also need to update their docker-compose.yaml to allow the container to persist the file.

Make sure the volumes section now contains a link to the password output file (be sure to update the /root with your install location).
- /root/lndg/lndg-admin.txt:/lndg/lndg-admin.txt:rw

MANUAL install users will need to update their settings.py file in order to enforce authentication over api.

Delete your settings.py file and re-initialize it OR update the required section manually in lndg/settings.py.
rm lndg/settings.py
.venv/bin/python initialize.py
