LNDg v1.10.0

New Features

Improved performance with LND using an updated forwards query

AutoFees now uses aggregated pubkey metrics for those that have multiple channels with the same peer

New metrics page - Unprofitable/Stuck Channels

Additional Notes

If you would like to use the advanced setting to remotely obtain your channel database size, you will need to install the paramiko module. This advanced setting is only required when LNDg is not installed on the same machine as your lightning node (uncommon).

Install paramiko module: .venv/bin/pip install paramiko

Various improvements and bug fixes

IMPORTANT - Docker installs have changed!

Since the docker installs use the initialize.py file during startup, you will need to update your docker-compose.yaml to use the updated options. The latest release of LNDg also removes the requirement to run supervisord.

Changes

1. The -server option of initialize.py has been renamed to -rpc.
2. Using supervisord is no longer required
3. All logs are directed to /var/log/lndg-controller.log
4. Reduced image size using python:3-alpine

Sample docker-compose.yaml

services:
  lndg:
    build: .
    volumes:
      - /root/.lnd:/root/.lnd:ro
      - /root/lndg/data:/app/data:rw
      - /root/lndg/data/lndg-controller.log:/var/log/lndg-controller.log:rw
    command:
      - sh
      - -c
      - python initialize.py -net 'mainnet' -rpc 'localhost:10009' -wn && python controller.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 > /var/log/lndg-controller.log 2>&1
    ports:
      - 8889:8000

Various improvements and bug fixes

IMPORTANT - Manual Installers Read Before Updating!

REQUIRED: Run pip to install new required packages: bech32 + cryptography

Install missing modules with: .venv/bin/pip install bech32 cryptography

The django-qr-code module can optionally be removed as it is no longer used.

1. Run: .venv/bin/pip uninstall django-qr-code
2. Remove qr_code from the INSTALLED_APPS section of lndg/settings.py

RECOMMENDED: Update the systemd setup to use the new lndg-controller service.

This setup uses one service instead of 3 separate services to run the backend tools (data, rebalancer, htlc-stream). This will also enable the trading service and reading of LNDg logs directly from the web UI at the /logs page. You can optionally continue using the old systemd setup but may not benefit from newly added backend features and tools.

Stop and remove the old services:

sudo systemctl disable jobs-lndg.timer
sudo systemctl stop jobs-lndg.service
sudo systemctl disable rebalancer-lndg.timer
sudo systemctl stop rebalancer-lndg.service
sudo systemctl stop htlc-stream-lndg.service
sudo systemctl disable htlc-stream-lndg.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/jobs-lndg.timer
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/jobs-lndg.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/rebalancer-lndg.timer
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/rebalancer-lndg.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/htlc-stream-lndg.service

Setup the lndg-controller as described here:

See the v1.7.0 release page for more details: https://github.com/cryptosharks131/lndg/releases/tag/v1.7.0

IMPORTANT - Manual Installers Read Before Updating!

MANUAL install users will need to update their settings.py file in order to support new settings.

Delete your settings.py file and re-initialize it OR add the required section manually in lndg/settings.py.
rm lndg/settings.py
.venv/bin/python initialize.py

OR

LND_MAX_MESSAGE = '35'

Update fee rate from dashboard

Added simple chart to P&L page

Legacy address generation option added

Removed flickering effect of the dark-mode setting

Using the new AF variables:
AF-LowLiq: Any channel with less liquidity than this will run a low liquidity fee algorithm.
AF-Excess: Any channel with more liquidity then this will run an excess liquidity fee algorithm.
Channels that do not fall within these two ranges will run a flow based algorithm.

IMPORTANT - Manual Installers Read Before Updating!

MANUAL install users are recommended to update their pandas to the latest version to avoid potential conflicts.

Use pip to update your pandas module: .venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pandas
