Don't use conf files - Githubissues

kilrau commented 4 years ago

Off-shoot from https://github.com/ExchangeUnion/xud-docker/pull/395#discussion_r406709215

How it is:

we copy paste the sample conf into xud.conf on every start of container, similar we are creating a lnd.conf on testnet & mainnet and persist it all on disk Result: adding/changing a config parameter after first run is not possible

How it should be:

we start xud & lnd in containers with command line parameters only avoiding issues ignoring/overwriting changed parameters by persisting a config file
simplify (less scripting) setting parameters

What about use --xud.options '--foo bar -abc' @kilrau

kilrau commented 4 years ago

Not sure I understand. xud-docker internally should use command line options only - lets start with lnds.

Current major UX problem this solves : once light mode, always light mode: https://github.com/ExchangeUnion/xud-docker/issues/617

This is how lnd.conf looks like when trying to switch from light mode to full-mode.
