normoes/lnd_client_container repository overview

⁠LND test client container

This is just a helper container that can be configured to allow interacting with a lightning daemon.

It expects the container to be run with the environment variale TLS_CERT.

On container creation the value of TLS_CERT will be copied into /data/lnd/tls.cert.

docker run --rm -it -e TLS_CERT="$(pass show lnd/tls_cert)" --name lnd_test normoes/lnd_client_container

The next is jsut my personal work flow.

I also set the following environment variables:

• READ_MAC (the default readonly macaroon)
• WRITE_MAC (a custom macaroon)
• LND_URL (URL of the lightning dameon)
• PASSWD (base64 encoded wallet password e.g. when unlocking the wallet)

This way I can run shorter commands in the cli:

curl -sSL -X GET --cacert /data/lnd/tls.cert -H "Grpc-Metadata-macaroon: $READ_MAC" https://$LND_URL:8080/v1/channels | jq

On container creation curl and jq will be installed.
