Add a new health check package which will periodically poll health
check functions and shutdown if we do not succeed after our set number
of attempts. The first check that we add is one for our chain backend,
to ensure that we are connected to a bitcoin node.
This adds in a new boolean flag that when set, prevents LND from writing the system hostname and network interface IPs to the TLS certificate. This will ensure privacy for those that don't want private IP addresses to be exposed on a public facing LND node.
This commit removes the activeNetParams global in chainparams.go. This
is necessary to isolate code from the lnd package so we can import it
for use in tests, other projects, etc.
In this commit, we split the database storage into two classes: remote
and local data. If etcd isn't active, then everything is actually just
local though we use two pointers everywhere. If etcd is active, then
everything but the graph goes into the remote database.
According to the recent discussion `noseedbackup` is not deprecated.
This change clarifies the message about deprecation.
Also fixes a typo.
Closes#4499
This commit extends invoice garbage collection to also remove invoices
which are canceled when LND is already up and running. When the option
GcCanceledInvoicesOnTheFly is false (default) then invoices are kept and
the behavior is unchanged.
In this commit, unify the old and new values for `sync-freelist`, and
also ensure that we don't break behavior for any users that're using the
_old_ value.
To do this, we first rename what was `--db.bolt.no-sync-freelist`, to
`--db.bolt.sync-freelist`. This gets rid of the negation on the config
level, and lets us override that value if the user is specifying the
legacy config option.
In the future, we'll deprecate the old config option, in favor of the
new DB scoped option.
This commit clamps all user-chosen CLTVs in LND to be at least 18, which
is the new conservative value used in the sepc. This minimum is applied
uniformly to forwarding CLTV deltas (via channel updates) as well as
final CLTV deltas for new invoices.
In this commit, we add a new sub-system, then `HostAnnouncer` which
allows a users without a static IP address to ensure that lnd always
announces the most up to date address based on a domain name. A new
command line flag `--external-hosts` has been added which allows a user
to specify one or most hosts that should be periodically resolved to
update any advertised IPs the node has.
Fixes#1624.
Adds a new configuration flag to lnd that will keep keysend payments in
the accepted state. An application can then inspect the payment
parameters and decide whether to settle or cancel.
The on-the-fly inserted keysend invoices get a configurable expiry time.
This is a safeguard in case the application that should decide on the
keysend payments isn't active.
This commit extends lncfg to support user specified database backend.
This supports configuration for both bolt and etcd (while only allowing
one or the other).
Variables related to the default configuration file location are
needed if the config parsing is happening externally. We export them
so they don't need to be copied to projects that use lnd as a library.
To allow external configuration parsing and validation, this commit
exports the function that checks a configuration for sanity.
Also because we touch the code, we need to fix all linter errors.
This provides users an alternative over the SAFECOOKIE authentication
method, which may not be as useful if users are connecting to a remote
Tor sevrer due to lnd not being able to retrieve the cookie file.
This commit enables the user to specify he is not interested in
automatically close channels with pending payments that their
corresponding htlcs have timed-out.
By requiring a configurable grace period uptime of our node
before closing such channels, we give a chance to the other node to
properly cancel the htlc and avoid unnecessary on-chain transaction.
In mobile it is very important for the user experience as otherwise
channels will be force closed more frequently.
