Node alias and color

Give your node a name (alias) and hex color to display in the network and lightning explorers.

Note: your node Alias is becoming public!

Warning: with each update, the LND configuration is reset to the default settings and you will have to enter your alias again.

To change the name and color of your node, start with the following commands:

Log using SSH

ssh [email protected]

Open the config document:

sudo nano umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf

It will ask your password, hit enter after entering.

You are now in editor.

Add alias=SOMENAME and color=SOMENAME.

Place both statements in the first paragraph!

Hit CTRL + X to exit this window and type Y followed by enter to save.

After leaving the editor, type the following command to check if your file was edited correctly:

cat umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf

Your alias and color will appear on 1ML and other explorers during the next 24 hours because our update needs gossiping. RTL will immediately show your new alias and color.
