Core lighting- lighting- CLI

General
1

Hi, since I couldn’t find any GUI for more advanced control of the “core lighting” service, e.g. “batch control of channels in one trasaction”, I tried to use the lighting-CLI, unfortunately I couldn’t get it to run at all, and the standard commands lighting- cli doesn’t work.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this option limited in eOS?
I connected via ssh to Start9 in ubuntu terminal.

Then I followed this guide:

https://docs.start9.com/0.3.4.x/developer-docs/advanced/dev-tools/embassy-cli

Only replaced “embassy-cli” with “start-cli” and logged in directly to start-cli.
Is there any way to use lighting-cli?

Thanks

Hi Ostravskiiii
Looks like you are looking at 0.3.4.x version of our docs that are outdated.
You should switch to 0.3.5.x.
Saying that you should be able to use lightining-cli using this command:

sudo podman exec -it c-lightning.embassy bin/bash

and then for example

lightning-cli getinfo

you can also combine them like this

sudo podman exec -it c-lightning.embassy lightning-cli getinfo

I hope this helps!
