Since we're now able to create a base LND directory that no longer lives
under the OS specific application data directory, we modify
cleanAndExpandPath to replace the `~` in a path to the current user's
home directory, rather than the user's application data directory.
In this commit, we introduce a new flag `--lnddir` that allows us to
set a different base directory, other than the OS specific application
data directory, for all related lnd files and directories.
In this commit, we add a new closeallchannels command to lncli. This
command allows us to close all existing active and inactive channels
by closing them cooperatively or unilaterally, respectively.
In this commit, we extend the `lncli create` command to allow users to
specify their own side (if they want). In the case that the user
*doesn’t* specify their own seed, we’ll return the entropy generated by
the wallet in a 24-word mnemonic format for easy backup.
With this change, it’s now possible for users to restore an existing lnd
wallet seed.
This commit reworks the macaroon authentication framework to use the
v2 macaroon format and bakery API. It also replaces the code in each
RPC method which calls the macaroon verifier with interceptors which
call the macaroon verifier instead. In addition, the operation
permissions are reworked to fit the new format of "allow" commands
(specifically, entity/operation permissions instead of method
permissions).
Since a ChannelPoint's funding txid can now be get/set as raw bytes or
a string, we first need to check what type it's currently set to before
accessing it.
In this commit we rename the lnrpc.PendingChannelRequest and
lnrpc.PendingChannelResponse to
lnrpc.PendingChannelsRequest/lnrpc.PendingChannelsResponse. We do this
as we strive to ensure that the naming scheme across the RPC interface
is consistent.
Early in the lifetime of the project here were a few files we either
copied entirely, or used as the basis for code within lnd. Before this
PR, this was not recognized by retaining the original copyright. With
this commit, we remedy that by explicitly noting the copyright in the
relevant files.
Fixes#423.
In this commit, we expose the new fee control features to the relevant
commands on the command line. This will allow users to have a greater
degree of control of the fees they pay when: sending coins on chain,
opening a channel, or closing a channel.
This commit adds a decorator that will inspect the
error from an command action, and prints an encrypted
wallet help text if the error has status code Unimplemented.
This is done to help a user that is trying to issue
lncli commands before unlocking the wallet, since
the RPC server won't be active and every call will
return this status code.
lncli create:
This command is used to set up a wallet encryption password for
use with lnd at first time use. It will ask fot the user to
confirm the chosen password, then do a call to the lnd RPC method
CreateWallet with the chosen password.
lncli unlock:
This command is used to unlock the wallet of a running lnd instance.
It calls the RPC method UnlockWallet with the provided password.
Both methods makes use of the terminal.ReadPassword method, to
securely read a password from user input without making it
replayable in the terminal.
