Clearing a ghost channel from umbrel

Posted 12 months ago by Loop - Tor

I found this guide from https://community.umbrel.com/t/official-umbrel-troubleshooting-guide-and-faq/9873#lightning-node-official-umbrel-app-5
and the abandonchannel command described at https://lightning.engineering/api-docs/api/lnd/lightning/abandon-channel/index.html:

To access the command line interface for interacting with your Lightning node, follow these steps:
Connect to your Umbrel device by following the instructions in How to SSH into umbrelOS on Umbrel Home or Rasberry Pi or by accessing a terminal on your Linux machine.
Run the following command*. If you are on a Linux machine, you may need to replace ~/umbrel with the path to your installation directory, as described in Troubleshooting on Linux:
sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli <command>
*Replace <command> with any of the lncli commands, such as getinfo.

So, for this case using the ghost channel info:

sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli abandonchannel "TXID" "OUTPOINT" --i_know_what_i_am_doing
