Multi node config not working

[thephizzz]

I have lnd running on a Raspiblitz with RTL and it operates correctly.
RTL is running as a service on the Raspi.
I've added another lnd node running on a W10 PC on the same network.
After editing the RTL-Config.json file to add the new node and stopping and starting the RTL service, the second node information is removed from the RTL-Config.json file and the second node is not recognized.
I assume there is an error in the config file but have tried all options that I know of.
Of note is that my second lnd node does not have a loop.macaroon file so I omitted that line in the Authentication section.
I have attached my multi RTL-Config.json file for review and have added: restlisten=192.xxx.x.xxx:8080 to the second lnd.conf file.
Thank you for any insights.

I am using RTL v 0.11.2-beta

Hi @thephizzz are you saying that after you edit the config to include the new node and restart the server, the config setting is getting removed from the config file?

If that's what is happening, it is not really a RTL issue and we may need to pull in folks from Raspiblitz. RTL does not make any changes to the config file on its own.

Hi @saubyk. Yes that is what is happening. I've confirmed several times and made sure that I was working on the correct copy of RTL-Config.json.
Were you able to see any issues with the RTL-Config.json file I uploaded?

[saubyk]

@thephizzz your RTL-Config.json file is fine.

@openoms @rootzoll Would you care to weigh-in here please?
Would the user be able to modify RTL config file to add more nodes or are you tightly controlling the configs?

[thephizzz]

@suheb - I did post this on the raspiblitz and received a workaround to comment out a line in the RTL.service.
That did work.
From @openoms: You can comment out or remove the Prestart= line in the rtl.service to preserver your custom changes on restart.

Although on my system the line was: # ExecStartPre=-/home/admin/config.scripts/bonus.rtl.sh prestart lnd mainnet
