This adds support for notifying systemd about the state of LND. It
notifies systemd just before waiting for wallet password or, if
`wallet-password-file` was specified, right after unlocking the wallet.
This means that "ready" represents RPC being available for intended use.
It's intentional, so that client services can use `After=` in `systemd`
configuration to avoid misleading error messages about missing files or
refused connections.
Part of #4470
In lnd, log messages about channels are generally logged with a
reference to their channel point rather than the short channel id.
Channel point is reorg-resistant and also easier to look up in for
example a block explorer.
In the link however, all log messages are accompanied by short channel
id. This makes it difficult to grep a log for all channel activity. The
PEER message for example which are often crucial to analyse, are logged
with channel points.
This commit modifies the link logging to also use channel points.
Improve 'ErrReservedValueInvalidated' error string to explain that the
error is triggered by a transaction that would deplete funds reserved for
potential future anchor channel closings (via CPFP)
Add hint that further details can be found in the debug log
Update strings in 'lntest/itest/log_error_whitelist.txt' correspondingly
Since we don't really do anything with the errors we check in the itest
error whitelist but get a lot of failed Travis runs because of it, we
disable the check for the moment.
This removes a warning in the documentation saying that pruned nodes are
not supported. This is no longer the case as [pruning is supported since
0.13](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5154). So instead it
now says pruning is supported and notes the version and implications of
pruning.
This changes file reation mode on admin macaroon from 0600 to 0640. The
reason is to make permission management easier.
Closes#4385
**Is this safe?**
Yes, it is. Assuming a reasonably secure Linux system, it will have a
separate group for each user. E.g. a new user `lnd` gets assigned group
`lnd` which nothing else belongs to. A system that does not do this is
inherently broken already.
Since there is no other user in the group, no other user can read admin
macaroon unless the administrator explicitly allowed it. Thus there's no
harm allowing group read.
The golang version always needs to be in sync between the go.mod, the PR
checklist and the installation instructions.
We also shorten the Pull Request template by removing everything that we
have a CI check for and just refer to those checks instead.
In this commit, we add a new folder within the `docs` directory that will
house the release notes for all versions of `lnd` going forward. Moving to
use `git` for the release notes rather than the normal drafting procedure
lets us keep track of the set of changes more consistency over time, lets
contributors add their release notes over time, and also means we'll no
longer need to do a crunch at the tail end of the release process to fill in
the set of release notes.
For the 0.13.1 release notes, I've done a scan and added anything that has
been merged since the last major version tag. In a follow up change, we'll
add a new Github action that fails the build if an entry in the release
notes linking to the newly added PR isn't committed as well. Until then, any
PRs merged in should ensure that they add an entry within the relevant
milestone.
