Unable to start lnd, and tapd

[afeezaziz]

When i run nigiri start --ln I wont get the LND to run due to misconfig of the taproot to connect to bitcoind.

Can you post your logs here?

Nothing changed in the docker-compose.yml file. I ran nigiri start --ln

I am able to run on my MacOS and OrbStack with nigiri start --ark --ln

Can you check your nigiri version and if needed try to reinstall it with curl https://getnigiri.vulpem.com | bash

If you see the tap and lnd node that is always restarting.

[randochalo]

@afeezaziz are you able to run the nodes?

[afeezaziz]

No, the tap and lnd nodes still keep on crashing

[tiero]

I have tested on Linux and seems to work just fine. Can you guys make sure to to install everything from scratch? this installer script should "delete" images and download everything fresh

curl https://getnigiri.vulpem.com | bash

[tiero]

that being said im trying to update tapd and lnd to their latest images to see if it solves!

[afeezaziz]

Did that, and still unable to work.
