I can’t open the Thunderhub GUI if the LND is not synced.
When I try to login to Thunderhub GUI, it just kicks me out because of this.
I don’t know how to can be sure if channels are online or offline without the GUI (at least I’m too noob to know how).
However, I looked up Amboss.space for my node. In the channels tab of my node it shows every channel has a double-down-chevron icon, which means all my channel partners have “disabled” the channel.
Literally every single one of them “disabled” the channel.
I also used the lncli --rpcserver lnd.embassy listchannels command that you just taught me. I don’t pretend to understand what all the outputs mean, but every single channel shows "active": false (see below screenshot too)
When using the lncli --rpcserver lnd.embassy listpeers command, it shows there’s actually no peers!
Sorry for being so uneducated about this.
(but I feel like I’m learning a lot through this pain).
How do I get another node to reopen all the channels? I assume I can’t control them.
I use to have so many peers, how do I add back all my peers?
Are the commands lncli --rpcserver lnd.embassy connectsafe to use for adding peers, while LND service is running?
First, you need to make sure your LND is healthy and synced to the graph. RTL and TH will not work correctly if LND is having issues. Please check the LND status and logs for any errors and report back. If you find any errors, you can try restarting the LND service to see if that helps. If not, please report back.
One more question: can any other service not related to LND be reached when you click the Launch UI button?
Just a quick warning: using SSH and running commands directly on your server is not officially supported and may cause problems if you’re not sure what you’re doing. Please proceed with caution.
I can’t upload the service logs here but I’ve sent it to several more experienced and knowledgeable Start9 and LND runners (including and with much thanks to StuPleb).
There’s no error that stands out to them. But I think Stu is onto something regarding to active channels and no peers online.
Re: your question: All the other services not related to LND are working well when I launch the UIs (such as Vaultwarden, Stablediffusion, SimpleX, etc. even bitcoin core)
I really appreciate you and this community for cautionaries about SSH and command line. I’m trying to err on the side of caution and ask about safety of commands before using them (even if I think I know the command already). I’m also using the -h and -v and -i options whenever possible since I’m such a noob with Linux.
To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t even touch SSH if TH or RTL actually worked with LND not synced.
