Debug invoices are rarely used nowadays, but keep asking for maintenance
every time refactoring in primarily the invoice registry occurs. We have
passed the cost/benefit tipping point, so therefore the debug invoice
concept is removed in this commit.
Previously the debughtlc flag also controlled whether hodl masks were
active. It is safe to remove that additional condition because the hodl
masks are still guarded by the dev build tag.
This commit adds the ignore-historical-filters CLI option, initially
defaulting to false. Users may use this option to prevent lnd from doing
historical gossip dumps to peers that set their `gossip_timestamp_range`
in the past. Enabling this option will result in lower bandwidth and
memory consumption. Down the road the plan is to make this default to
true.
With the introduction of the WatchtowerClient RPC subserver, the lnd
configuration flag to specify private watchtowers for the client is no
longer needed and can lead to confusion upon users. Therefore, we remove
the flag completely, and only rely on the watchtower client being active
through a new --wtclient.active flag.
Start the Prometheus exporter in rpcserver.go if monitoring is enabled through the
build tag. Also allow users to specify what address they want the Prometheus
exporter to be listening on.
This commit exposes the three main parameters that influence mission
control and path finding to the user as command line or config file
flags. It allows for fine-tuning for optimal results.
This commit fixes a bug where it was impossible to run lnd in litecoin's
simnet mode because of code duplication. As a result `numNets > 1`
conditional was always true when running lnd with `cfg.Litecoin.SimNet`
flag.
This commits exposes the various parameters around going to chain and
accepting htlcs in a clear way.
In addition to this, it reverts those parameters to what they were
before the merge of commit d107627145.
This commit adds optional jitter to our initial reconnection to our
persistent peers. Currently we will attempt reconnections to all peers
simultaneously, which results in large amount of contention as the
number of channels a node has grows.
We resolve this by adding a randomized delay between 0 and 30 seconds
for all persistent peers. This spreads out the load and contention to
resources such as the database, read/write pools, and memory
allocations. On my node, this allows to start up with about 80% of the
memory burst compared to the all-at-once approach.
This also has a second-order effect in better distributing messages sent
at constant intervals, such as pings. This reduces the concurrent jobs
submitted to the read and write pools at any given time, resulting in
better reuse of read/write buffers and fewer bursty allocation and
garbage collection cycles.
In this commit, we replace the NoChanUpdates flag with a flag that
allows us to specify the number of peers we want to actively receive new
graph updates from. This will be required when integrating the new
gossiper SyncManager subsystem with the rest of lnd.
In this commit, we add a new config option: `backupfilepath` for the new
SCB implementation. This argument allows users to specify a custom
location for the SCB file such as NFS or distinct partition.
Exposes the three parameters that dictate
the behavior of the channel status manager:
* --chan-enable-timeout
* --chan-disable-timeout
* --chan-status-sample-interval
In this commit, we increase the default trickle delay from 30s to 1m30s.
We do this as before we implement the new INV gossip mechanism, we want
to de-emphasise the quick propagation of updates through the network
which eats up bandwidth.
When Tor is enabled, this change allows manual hidden service
configuration by defaulting to listening for p2p connections on
the loopback address. It also allows overriding this manually
for situations where the Tor daemon is running on another machine,
such as when using Whonix or OnionPi-like systems.
In this commit, we add the glue infrastructure to make the sub RPC
server system work properly. Our high level goal is the following: using
only the lnrpc package (with no visibility into the sub RPC servers),
the RPC server is able to find, create, run, and manage the entire set
of present and future sub RPC servers. In order to achieve this, we use
the reflect package and build tags heavily to permit a loosely coupled
configuration parsing system for the sub RPC servers.
We start with a new `subRpcServerConfigs` struct which is _always_
present. This struct has its own group, and will house a series of
sub-configs, one for each sub RPC server. Each sub-config is actually
gated behind a build flag, and can be used to allow users on the command
line or in the config to specify arguments related to the sub-server. If
the config isn't present, then we don't attempt to parse it at all, if
it is, then that means the RPC server has been registered, and we should
parse the contents of its config.
The `subRpcServerConfigs` struct has two main methods:
`PopulateDependancies` and `FetchConfig`. The `PopulateDependancies` is
used to dynamically locate and set the config fields for each new
sub-server. As the config may not actually have any fields (if the build
flag is off), we use the reflect pacakge to determine if things are
compiled in or not, then if so, we dynamically set each of the config
parameters. The `PopulateDependancies` method implements the
`lnrpc.SubServerConfigDispatcher` interface. Our goal is to allow sub
servers to look up their actual config in this main config struct. We
achieve this by using reflect to look up the target field _as if it were
a key in a map_. If the field is found, then we check if it has any
actual attributes (it won't if the build flag is off), if it is, then we
return it as we expect it to be populated already.
This PR adds the configuration needed to run LND with Litecoin on simnet. The change is minimal and has no impact for users that don't enable this mode. When using this configuration, the user is being warned that this mode is not officially supported.
