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.
