LND Unlock Container

This is a helper container for unlocking LND for unattended installs.

For best results use this within docker-compose.

Deprecation notice

This is deprecated because there is a feature in LND v0.13.0-beta which allows for unlocking

To use simply just add your desired password in the config file.

Example

wallet-unlock-password-file=/path/to/passwordfile
wallet-unlock-allow-create=true

Clone directory

docker pull lncm/lnd-unlock

Pathnames Required

• /lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/$NETWORK/admin.macaroon (Where: $NETWORK is the network. This is the LND default path. Best to leave this alone)
• /secrets/lnd-password.txt (This is the unlock password. Must be readable by this container)

Environment Variables

• LNDHOSTNAME (default: lnd) : This is the hostname for the lnd instance. Can be an IP
• HOSTIPPORT (default: 10.254.2.3:8080) : This is the IP and port for the LND rest interface.
• NETWORK (default: mainnet) : This is the network that LND uses and how to find the correct macaroon file
• SLEEPTIME (default: 30) : This is how often we will check to see if its unlocked. There is a default value so you do not need to set it.
