How to retrieve seed words from phoenixD service - anyone tried?

Discussion

Curious if anyone has gone through the steps to SSH into their start9, log into the phoenixd service on their start9, and obtain the seed words for the wallet. Would love to get some help doing that, thanks!

start-cli package attach phoenixd -n phoenixd-sub – cat /phoenix/.phoenix/seed.dat

Hi Homer, thanks for the reply! I SSH’d into my server and tried the command, but got this error message back:

Filesystem I/O Error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

-- My start9 server version is 0.4.0.2 in case that helps

Is phoenixD runing? Works on my machine with the same StartOS.

Hmm, it is running with all the green checks. Strange. I’m using my local electrs service instead of ACINQ’s electrum server, could that affect it?

I removed the " - " from your command and it worked! Used:

start-cli package attach phoenixd -n phoenixd-sub cat /phoenix/.phoenix/seed.dat
