LNDHub + MyNode questions

593 sats \ 10 comments \ @zapsammy 12 Mar bitcoin_beginners

a couple beginner questions:

can i make multiple self-hosted LNDHub accounts, using MyNode as a funding source with private channels only, or shud i really try to figure out LNbits?
when setting up LNDHub, is it advisable to install certificates? i get the warning about potential man-in-the-middle attack. after setting up the LNDHub account, i am given a username & password. i am connecting to MyNode thru Tailscale.

Yes you can have as many as you want accounts with LNbits. Is the easiest way. Optional you can use Lightning terminal account too, but Lnbits is much better because you can offer them more options and services.
Not needed.

Believe you can set up accounts via Zeus as well.

Only if you connect first to the lndhub from that lnbits, then yes you can create nee accounts. But Zeus is just the interface.

right now i am fighting with the command line to enable extensions for LNbits, and the management of extensions still won't appear.

i know it's best to have a dedicated machine, so once i suffer enough with the RaspberryPi, i will get serious.

i have gotten pretty far!

Yes that option is good but is quite limited in functions. For few family subaccounts is ok but when you want to control the liquidity you do not have too much features, that's why is better with lnbits.

One interesting thing with BW lndhub app is that the sub-account can use the funding wallet feature in Bluewallet, using the onchain address of the node. Be aware that is always using the same address.

update: i fixed the problem!

the .env file got copied into a new directory, but the parameters remained at LNBITS_ADMIN_UI=false even tho i edited it before the file got copied. after setting it to LNBITS_ADMIN_UI=true in the new directory, things finally worked.
