; Boolean values can be specified as true/false or 1/0.

[Application Options]

; The directory that lnd stores all wallet, chain, and channel related data
; within The default is ~/.lnd/data on POSIX OSes, $LOCALAPPDATA/Lnd/data on
; Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Lnd/data on Mac OS, and $home/lnd/data
; on Plan9.  Environment variables are expanded so they may be used.  NOTE:
; Windows environment variables are typically %VARIABLE%, but they must be
; accessed with $VARIABLE here.  Also, ~ is expanded to $LOCALAPPDATA on Windows.
; datadir=~/.lnd/data

; The directory that logs are stored in. The logs are auto-rotated by default.
; Rotated logs are compressed in place.
; logdir=~/.lnd/logs

; Number of logfiles that the log rotation should keep. Setting it to 0 disables deletion of old log files.
; maxlogfiles=3

; Disable macaroon authentication. Macaroons are used are bearer credentials to
; authenticate all RPC access. If one wishes to opt out of macaroons, uncomment
; the line below.
; no-macaroons=true

; Path to write the admin macaroon for lnd's RPC and REST services if it
; doesn't exist. This can be set if one wishes to store the admin macaroon in a

; Path to write the read-only macaroon for lnd's RPC and REST services if it
; doesn't exist. This can be set if one wishes to store the read-only macaroon

; Adding an external IP will advertise your node to the network. This signals
; that your node is available to accept incoming channels. If you don't wish to
; advertise your node, this value doesn't need to be set. Unless specified
; (with host:port notation), the default port (9735) will be added to the
; address.
; externalip=
;
; Instead of explicitly stating your external IP address, you can also enable
; UPnP or NAT-PMP support on the daemon. Both techniques will be tried and
; require proper hardware support. In order to detect this hardware support,
; `lnd` uses a dependency that retrieves the router's gateway address by using
; different built-in binaries in each platform. Therefore, it is possible that
; we are unable to detect the hardware and `lnd` will exit with an error
; indicating this. This option will automatically retrieve your external IP
; address, even after it has changed in the case of dynamic IPs, and advertise
; it to the network using the ports the daemon is listening on. This does not
; support devices behind multiple NATs.
; nat=true


; Debug logging level.
