+NAME: lnd
+LAST DEPLOYED: Wed Apr 27 19:33:40 2022
+NAMESPACE: default
+STATUS: deployed
+REVISION: 1
+NOTES:
+1. Get the application URL by running these commands:
+  export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=lnd,app.kubernetes.io/instance=lnd" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
+  export CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace default $POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
+  echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 to use your application"
+  kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 8080:$CONTAINER_PORT
+2. To get the TLS, run:
+export TLS=$(kubectl -n default exec lnd-0 -- base64 /root/.lnd/tls.cert | tr -d '\n\r')
+3. To get the macaroon, run:
+export MACAROON=$(kubectl exec -n default lnd-0 -- base64 /root/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/admin.macaroon | tr -d '\n\r')
+4. To execute lncli against the pod, run the following commands:
+kubectl -n default port-forward lnd-0 10009
+lncli -n default help
+5. To retrieve the seed for the lnd wallet, run:
+kubectl -n default logs lnd-wallet-create
+kubectl -n default delete pod lnd-wallet-create
+
+Warning: Make sure you write/store the seed somewhere, because if lost you will not be able to retrieve it again, and you might end up losing all your funds.

+## Forward a local port to container port
+```

+## Run lncli
+```
+lncli -n mainnet --rpcserver localhost:10010 state

+# check template
+helm template lnd
+# logs
+kubectl -n default logs lnd-0 lnd
+# describe
+kubectl describe pod lnd
+
+To debug the lnd container, you can modify the stateful set via -> kubectl -n <lnd-namespace> edit sts <lnd-sts-name> , then remove the readiness and liveness probes, override the command for the lnd container and set it to sleep 5000000 , then delete the lnd pod. Once it restarts, you can use kubectl -n <lnd-namespace> exec -it <lnd-pod-name> -c lnd -- bash
+Then you can check what config is being copied by the init-container
+
+# kubectl -n <lnd-namespace> edit sts <lnd-sts-name>
+kubectl -n default edit sts lnd
+
+# kubectl -n <lnd-namespace> exec -it <lnd-pod-name> -c lnd -- bash
+kubectl -n default exec -it lnd-0 -c lnd -- bash
