Q: The clightning service is running but when I try to use it (f.e. by running
lightning-cli getinfo
as user operator) all I get islightning-cli: Connecting to 'lightning-rpc': Connection refused
.
A: Check your clightning logs withjournalctl -eu clightning
. Do you see something likebitcoin-cli getblock ... false
failed? Are you using pruned mode? That means that clightning hasn't seen all the blocks it needs to and it can't get that block because your node is pruned.
If you're just setting up a new node you cansystemctl stop clightning
and wipe your/var/lib/clightning
directory. Otherwise you need to reindex the Bitcoin node. -

Q: Where is
sudo
?
A: After CVE-2021-3156, we've replacedsudo
with OpenBSD'sdoas
for users of thesecure-node.nix
template. It has greatly reduced complexity and is therefore less likely to be a source of severe vulnerabilities in the future.
