connecting to remote node?

[keblek]

My node is not local, but I think suez assumes it does.

I've tried passing arguments to the client and changing the config but no luck.

Any tips?

[prusnak]

Can you post the exact error you see?

[keblek]

so you can see that lncli is trying to get the local instance of lnd

[prusnak]

Use --client-args to pass arguments to lncli. Read lncli documentation to learn which arguments you need to pass.

[keblek]

Yup that's what I tried first, but it gave me so many problems I figured it could read the info from the lnd config file.

I access my remote node from lncli with no problems. I figured I could pass the same arguments to suez but no luck.

How would I input multiple rpc arguments?

poetry run ./suez --client-args='--rpcserver=mydomain:10009 --macaroonpath=~/.lnd/mynode/admin.macaroon --tlscertpath=~/.lnd/mynode/tls.cert'
[lncli] rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing address tcp/10009 --macaroonpath=~/.lnd/mynode/admin.macaroon --tlscertpath=~/.lnd/mynode/tls.cert: unknown port"

[prusnak]

Try the following:

poetry run ./suez --client-args=--rpcserver=mydomain:10009 --client-args=--macaroonpath=~/.lnd/mynode/admin.macaroon --client-args=--tlscertpath=~/.lnd/mynode/tls.cert

Thanks!
