🌐 Web query:

official litd documentation --disableui Lightning Terminal web UI

💡 Result:

I couldn’t find an official `litd` option named `--disableui` or `--disable-ui`. The official **Run litd** guide instead documents the UI as part of the normal setup: it shows setting `uipassword` and says to open `localhost:8443` to access it. ([docs.lightning.engineering](https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lightning-terminal/run-litd?utm_source=openai))

So the official docs don’t establish a supported flag for disabling the Lightning Terminal web UI. They do document `httpslisten` for configuring where the UI listens—not disabling it. ([docs.lightning.engineering](https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lightning-terminal/run-litd?utm_source=openai))

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal disableui litd

💡 Result:

`litd` supports `--disableui`. The option disables serving the web UI, so you don’t need to set `uipassword`. ([pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal?utm_source=openai))

For example: `litd --disableui` — or add `disableui` to `lit.conf`. The source I found describes the current published package; check your specific `litd` version if you’re using an older release.

🌐 Web query:

github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal v0.17.6 --disableui

💡 Result:

For Lightning Terminal **v0.17.6**, `--disableui` is a supported flag. It starts LiT without serving the web UI, so you don’t need to set `uipassword`. ([pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal?utm_source=openai))

```bash
litd --disableui
```

Citations:

- 1: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal?utm_source=openai

Update the Lightning Terminal guide for the disabled UI.

--disableui disables the Lightning Terminal web UI in v0.17.6. The guide still directs users to /lit/, so that workflow is unavailable.

Suggested fix
-Lightning Terminal appears under **Server Settings > Services** and is served at
-`/lit/` on the BTCPay Server host.
+The Lightning Terminal web UI is disabled in this setup.

Update the Lightning Terminal guide associated with the --disableui setting to
state that the web UI is disabled, and remove directions to access it through
Server Settings or /lit/.

# Lightning Terminal

[Lightning Terminal](https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal) (LiT) is a browser-based interface for managing channel liquidity.
It integrates the Lightning Labs services Loop, Poold and Faraday all in one and offers a web UI to manage them.
[Lightning Terminal](https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal) (LiT) is a software bundle for Lightning Labs products and services.
It integrates Loop, Pool, Faraday and Taproot Assets and includes LND Accounts and LNC Sessions.
This fragment requires Bitcoin LND. It selects that dependency automatically.

## Installation

root login shell. The fragment selects Bitcoin LND automatically.

> **Important:** Lightning Terminal receives LND's administrative macaroon and

The fragment enables LiT's automatic bbolt-to-SQL migration. Once that migration
completes, its data cannot be downgraded to a pre-0.17 LiT release or migrated

btcpay-fragments add opt-add-lightning-terminal
```

Setup generates a 64-character UI password once, stores it in
`secrets/lit_password`, and mounts it into the container as a Compose secret.
Display the password from a root login shell with:
Lightning Terminal appears under **Server Settings > Services**.

```bash
cat "$BTCPAY_BASE_DIRECTORY/btcpayserver-docker/secrets/lit_password"
```
## Command Line Interface

To interact with LiT you may use the command line interface over gRPC. To create an admin session:

`litcli.sh sessions add --label "btcpay" --type admin`

To see the current Loop terms:

`loop.sh terms`

To interact with Pool:

`pool.sh getinfo`


To get a report from Faraday:

`frcli.sh insights`

To interact with Taproot Assets:

`tapcli.sh getinfo`

## Web Interface

To interact with LiT through the web-UI you will have to first generate a session through the command line (shown above).

Then, navigate to `https://terminal.lightning.engineering` and click on "Connect My Node."

Enter your pairing phrase and set a password. Each pairing phrase can only be used once.

You may inspect your sessions with:

`litcli.sh sessions list all`

Treat the secret file and Docker access as privileged. To rotate the password,
replace the file contents with a new password of at least eight characters and
restart the `lnd_lit` service.
Retrieve the local pubkey using the command above revoke a session with:

Lightning Terminal appears under **Server Settings > Services** and is served at
`/lit/` on the BTCPay Server host.
`litcli.sh sessions revoke --localpubkey <your local pubkey>`
