lnd.conf

The LND configuration file can be edited to customize your Lightning Network node.

The LND configuration file is found in your LND directory, typically in ~/.lnd

A sample configuration file can be found here or in your local copy of the LND source code. This file exists purely for illustrative purposes, and do not serve as a template for an "ideal" node.

lnd.conf
; Example configuration for lnd.
;
; The default location for this file is in ~/.lnd/lnd.conf on POSIX OSes,
; $LOCALAPPDATA/Lnd/lnd.conf on Windows,
; ~/Library/Application Support/Lnd/lnd.conf on Mac OS and $home/lnd/lnd.conf on
; Plan9.
; The default location of this file can be overwritten by specifying the
; --configfile= flag when starting lnd.
;
; boolean values can be specified as true/false or 1/0. Per default 
; booleans are always set to false.

; If only one value is specified for an option, then this is also the
; default value used by lnd. In case of multiple (example) values, the default 
; is explicitly mentioned. 
; If the part after the equal sign is empty then lnd has no default 
; for this option.

[Application Options]

; The directory that lnd stores all wallet, chain, and channel related data
; within The default is ~/.lnd/data on POSIX OSes, $LOCALAPPDATA/Lnd/data on
; Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Lnd/data on Mac OS, and $home/lnd/data
; on Plan9. Environment variables are expanded so they may be used. NOTE:
; Windows environment variables are typically %VARIABLE%, but they must be
; accessed with $VARIABLE here. Also, ~ is expanded to $LOCALAPPDATA on Windows.
; datadir=~/.lnd/data

; The directory that logs are stored in. The logs are auto-rotated by default.
; Rotated logs are compressed in place.
; logdir=~/.lnd/logs

; Number of logfiles that the log rotation should keep. Setting it to 0 disables deletion of old log files.
; maxlogfiles=3
;
; Max log file size in MB before it is rotated.
; maxlogfilesize=10

; Time after which an RPCAcceptor will time out and return false if
; it hasn't yet received a response.

; Adds an extra ip to the generated certificate. Setting multiple tlsextraip= entries is allowed.
; (old tls files must be deleted if changed)
; tlsextraip=

; Adds an extra domain to the generate certificate. Setting multiple tlsextradomain= entries is allowed.
; (old tls files must be deleted if changed)
; Default:
;   tlsextradomain=
; Example: (option can be specified multiple times):
;   tlsextradomain=my-node-domain.com

; If set, then all certs will automatically be refreshed if they're close to
; expiring, or if any parameters related to extra IPs or domains in the cert
; change.
; tlsautorefresh=false

; The duration from generating the self signed certificate to the certificate
; expiry date. Valid time units are {s, m, h}.
; The below value is about 14 months (14 * 30 * 24 = 10080)
; tlscertduration=10080h

; Do not include the interface IPs or the system hostname in TLS certificate,
; use first --tlsextradomain as Common Name instead, if set.
; tlsdisableautofill=false

; If set, the TLS private key will be encrypted to the node's seed.
; tlsencryptkey=false

; A list of domains for lnd to periodically resolve, and advertise the resolved
; IPs for the backing node. This is useful for users that only have a dynamic IP,
; or want to expose the node at a domain.

;   externalhosts=my-second-domain.com

; Sets the directory to store Let's Encrypt certificates within
; letsencryptdir=~/.lnd/letsencrypt

; The IP:port on which lnd will listen for Let's Encrypt challenges. Let's
; Encrypt will always try to contact on port 80. Often non-root processes are
; not allowed to bind to ports lower than 1024. This configuration option allows
; a different port to be used, but must be used in combination with port
; forwarding from port 80. This configuration can also be used to specify
; another IP address to listen on, for example an IPv6 address.
; Default:
;   letsencryptlisten=:80
; Example:
;   letsencryptlisten=localhost:8080

; Request a Let's Encrypt certificate for this domain. Note that the certificate
; is only requested and stored when the first rpc connection comes in.
; Default:
;   letsencryptdomain=
; Example:

; Example:
;   readonlymacaroonpath=~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/readonly.macaroon

; Path to write the invoice macaroon for lnd's RPC and REST services if it
; doesn't exist. This can be set if one wishes to store the invoice macaroon in

; write access to all invoice related RPCs.
; Default:
;   invoicemacaroonpath=~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/${network}/invoice.macaroon
; Example:
;   invoicemacaroonpath=~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/invoice.macaroon

;   restlisten=localhost:443
;  On an Unix socket:
;   restlisten=unix:///var/run/lnd-restlistener.sock

; A series of domains to allow cross origin access from. This controls the CORs
; policy of the REST RPC proxy.
; Default:
;   restcors=
; Example (option can be specified multiple times):
;   restcors=https://my-special-site.com

; Adding an external IP will advertise your node to the network. This signals
; that your node is available to accept incoming channels. If you don't wish to
; advertise your node, this value doesn't need to be set. Unless specified
; (with host:port notation), the default port (9735) will be added to the
; address.
; externalip=
;
; Instead of explicitly stating your external IP address, you can also enable
; UPnP or NAT-PMP support on the daemon. Both techniques will be tried and
; require proper hardware support. In order to detect this hardware support,
; `lnd` uses a dependency that retrieves the router's gateway address by using
; different built-in binaries in each platform. Therefore, it is possible that
; we are unable to detect the hardware and `lnd` will exit with an error
; indicating this. This option will automatically retrieve your external IP
; address, even after it has changed in the case of dynamic IPs, and advertise
; it to the network using the ports the daemon is listening on. This does not
; support devices behind multiple NATs.

; inject a seed while lnd is in that state.
; wallet-unlock-allow-create=false

; Removes all transaction history from the on-chain wallet on startup, forcing a
