LND

LND

Docker app from Raccommode's Repository

Overview

LND is the Lightning Network Daemon, a complete Lightning Network node implementation. This template starts LND on Bitcoin mainnet with the Neutrino light-client backend by default, exposes the Lightning P2P, gRPC, and REST ports, and persists the full /root/.lnd directory. LND can custody real bitcoin; back up the wallet seed and static channel backup before funding channels.

Requirements

LND has no web interface. Use lncli inside the container or connect compatible Lightning tools through gRPC/REST with the generated TLS certificate and macaroons from /root/.lnd. For a production routing node, consider editing Post Arguments to use your own Bitcoin Core or btcd backend instead of Neutrino.
