Your CLN node has been stopped and the hsm_secret (the CLN wallet) was encrypted with the password you gave.
This is done to avoid it restarting automaticallyin case you are transferring the node.
Will need to unlock it to start again.
Restart or type:
menu
in the terminal and enter the CLN option. You will be asked for the password to unlock the wallet.
thanks I'll try that
sorry just for understanding, is the hsm secret stored on the SD card , or on the hard drive? I guess an update would not impact the hsm secret?
and also, once unlocked, it stays unlocked?
really appreciate your feedback
The hsm_secret is basically your CLN onchain wallet is on the disk together with the other user data.
The OS lives on the SDcard amd it can be changed at will - the system is designed to recover the data from the disk.
The CLN wallet (if encrypted) will need to be unlocked after every restart of the node.
