Finally got the vast majority of my funds off my lightning node and moved it to my zapping wallet. ⚡⚡⚡

Did channel restore work? 🐶🐾🤔

I had to roll back my software using the terminal to an earlier version and that did the trick.

Ah, that is good! Glad it wasn’t lost completely. 🐶🐾🫂

Whew, good to hear. I've got a million sats locked in a long-dead channel on a long-dead umbrel brick in my closet and have been hoping I could just build a new one and restore to get at those funds.

Is there a particular set of instructions you followed to do this?

I believe if you have your seed phrase, you can refresh on a new Umbrel build.

I was using Citadel, not umbrel. Aaron adviced against doing this as you can lose data with rollbacks.

The best way is to do continuous backups and restore from new install if you have issues.

Your takeoff them off your node and I’m loading mine up ♻️🤙🏻

Well, it's been a useless brick for months. I will reassess if I want to run another one, and then which software is stable enough to trust long term.

Understand, I’m playing around with an Umbrel but have concerns about it’s durability 🤙🏻

It’s only as durable as your hardware. I almost lost my first install due to that. Make sure to back channels up regularly. 🐶🐾🫡

Thanks FC, I wondered how often I should backup. Also which backup should use. I see backups in the lighting node, backups in RTL and in ThunderHub. I’ve done them all since I didn’t know which was best

I do amboss through ThunderHub and LND Umbrel one. This will not save your channels from Force close but at least you’ll have your funds back after on chain fees. 🐶🐾🫡

I can’t zap your notes

Thanks wondered it would work or not. 🤙🏻

chrisoneal@strike.me I guess has a problem. 🐶🐾🫡

Gone back to Alby. Didn’t really want to receive funds there anyway, just wanted to test it🤙🏻

Worked

Had changed it back to Alby. Thanks, good to see you writing notes and posting picks🤙🏻💜

I back up from lnd thunder hub and ride the lightning plus push to a ambos every few days takes no time at all. A

I used umbrel, went off because felt unstable, got onto Citadel which was even more unstable and underdeveloped.

raspiblitz is rock solid.

Umbrel has been solid for me. I'm thinking about upgrading hardware as the RaspPi is starting to struggle with btc/lightning node and a Nostr relay running.

Why aren’t they the same thing?
