macaroon files not created automatically

[RyanPaul31]

Hi Team,

I have followed the same procedure for Lit configurations and It was running. But the problem is macaroon files are not automatically created inside .lit folder and also tls.cert and tls.key files are also not generated.

Also macaroon files are not generated inside any of .loop, .pool and .faraday folders.

Kindly guide me where it went wrong. What needs to be done to solve this issues?

Thanks in Advance!

That sounds like Lit isn't starting up properly. Can you post some logs please?

So you started Lit in integrated mode, which means it is also starting an lnd node. You have to create a wallet first (see second line of the log). Once you create the wallet (which doesn't require a macaroon), the other macaroons and certificates will be created.

[RyanPaul31]

I've created wallet and macaroon files are created only inside .lnd folder not inside other folders

[guggero]

The wallet is probably still syncing, which takes a while. Check the logs for more information or errors.

[RyanPaul31]

I'm frequently getting this error only : GRPC: [transport] transport: closing: connection error: desc = "error reading from server: read tcp 127.0.0.1:52656->127.0.0.1:10009: use of closed network connection"

[guggero]

That just means a component is trying to connect to lnd. But without any context that could be anything.

[RyanPaul31]

How can I proceed further?

[guggero]

Give us more info, like the log output since you created the wallet.
Going to move this into a discussion, as it's related to trouble shooting.

[RyanPaul31]

Mostly I'm getting this error

GRPC: [transport] transport: loopyWriter exited. Closing connection. Err: transport closed by client
GRPC: [transport] transport: closing: connection error: desc = "error reading from server: read tcp 127.0.0.1:52686->127.0.0.1:10009: use of closed network connection"

[RyanPaul31]

Can anyone please help me out to solve this issue?

[guggero]

If you post more of the log, we might be able to.

[RyanPaul31]

I'm getting response like this in my log file other than those errors

[RyanPaul31]

Can you please guide me to set correct lnd.conf and lit.conf file? I think there may be the reason for these errors

[guggero]

I guess the first question to ask is: Do you want to run lnd as part of the whole litd bundle (--lnd-mode=integrated)? Or do you want to run that as a separate process (--lnd-mode=remote)? There are pros and cons for both models, but assuming you aren't yet running an lnd node it probably makes sense to run everything in a single process. If you do that, then you only need lit.conf (no lnd.conf), which is described here: https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/blob/master/doc/config-lnd-integrated.md

If you are looking to set up litd with an existing lnd node, here's the doc for that: https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/blob/master/doc/config-lnd-remote.md (in that case you need both an lnd.conf and a lit.conf file).

[RyanPaul31]

I've started integrating lit by using (--lnd-mode=remote). I almost got the result but I got errors mentioned in the attachment. I got the message like "Waiting for lnd to be fully synced to its chain backend, this might take a while" in loop, pool, faraday and lit logs . In lnd log, I'm getting logs like:

Your lnd is still syncing.

[RyanPaul31]

Its working once lnd synced. Thank you so much for your support @guggero
