Lndmanage

Lndmanage is a Python command-line tool for operators of Lightning Network Daemon (LND) nodes. It provides node-status summaries, activity reports, channel and node information, peer statistics, and detailed channel listings, including views for forwarding activity, inactive channels and rebalancing. Its CLI also includes fee-update and batched-channel-opening commands.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use lndmanage when operating an LND node from a CLI and you need channel-specific reporting or inspection, or when you want its documented channel-management commands.

Who it is for

  • Operators who run an LND node and want CLI-based visibility into channels, peers and forwarding activity.
  • LND operators who need channel-management commands such as fee updates or batched channel opening.

Documented uses

  • Review node status and summarize recent forwarding, fee and channel-opening or closing activity.
  • Inspect channel or node graph details, including capacity, fees, peers and addresses.
  • List channels by forwarding statistics, inactivity, channel hygiene or rebalancing relevance.
  • Use fee-update and batched channel-opening commands for channel operations.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT license. The documented interface is a command-line tool.

  • The documented prerequisites are Python 3.8 or newer, LND v0.16.x and python3-venv.
  • Some commands need LND built with routerrpc; the README says this requirement can be ignored when using precompiled LND binaries.
  • When lndmanage runs on a different host from LND, the setup instructions require a read-only macaroon and TLS certificate for configuration.
  • Fee updates and batched channel openings require a custom macaroon; the README advises against using admin.macaroon.
  • The README describes the software as beta and provides no warranty.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install lndmanage from its repository on Linux

Set up the CLI in a Python virtual environment from the project repository.

Before you start

  • Python 3.8 or newer
  • LND v0.16.x
  • python3-venv

Steps

  1. Clone the lndmanage repository and enter its directory.

  2. Check out the v0.16.0 tag and create a virtual environment named venv.

  3. Verify the checked-out commit with git verify-commit HEAD.

  4. Activate the virtual environment, upgrade pip, setuptools and wheel, then install the project with pip.

Expected outcome

The project’s documented repository-based installation is complete in a virtual environment.

Guide limitations

  • The project README labels lndmanage beta software and gives no warranty.
  • The documented setup is tied to LND v0.16.x; the README says it is developed in lockstep with LND and tagged accordingly.
