Macabake

A tool for creating custom macaroons

LND Config Environment Variables

Put these environment variables into your path

export CRED_PATH=/home/lnd_user/Documents/creds/awesome-node/lnd
export LND_CRED_PATH=/home/lnd_user/Documents/creds/awesome-node/lnd
export LND_NODE_IP=awesome-node.m.voltageapp.io
export LND_NODE_PORT=10009

This script expects there to be a valid admin.macaroon and a tls.cert file located at CRED_PATH/LND_CRED_PATH.

Example

Bake a custom macaroon

macabake bakemacaroon \
    --apis Lightning OpenChannel \
    --apis Lightning SubscribeChannelEvents \
    --apis Lightning ConnectPeer \
    --output_filename=mycustommacaroon.macaroon

The macaroon is saved into the same directory as admin.macaroon, which is at the $CRED_PATH environment variable. The --apis flag can be passed multiple times, and is two strings: Subsystem API_name. The subsystems are listed on the LND docs website, like in the image below or using the command:

macabake list-lnd-subsystems

You can view which APIs are in each subsystem like so:

macabake list-lnd-apis --subsystem WalletKit
