IMPORTANT - Manual Installers Read Before Updating!

REQUIRED: Run pip to install new required packages: bech32 + cryptography

Install missing modules with: .venv/bin/pip install bech32 cryptography

The django-qr-code module can optionally be removed as it is no longer used.

1. Run: .venv/bin/pip uninstall django-qr-code
2. Remove qr_code from the INSTALLED_APPS section of lndg/settings.py

RECOMMENDED: Update the systemd setup to use the new lndg-controller service.

This setup uses one service instead of 3 separate services to run the backend tools (data, rebalancer, htlc-stream). This will also enable the trading service and reading of LNDg logs directly from the web UI at the /logs page. You can optionally continue using the old systemd setup but may not benefit from newly added backend features and tools.

Stop and remove the old services:

sudo systemctl disable jobs-lndg.timer
sudo systemctl stop jobs-lndg.service
sudo systemctl disable rebalancer-lndg.timer
sudo systemctl stop rebalancer-lndg.service
sudo systemctl stop htlc-stream-lndg.service
sudo systemctl disable htlc-stream-lndg.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/jobs-lndg.timer
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/jobs-lndg.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/rebalancer-lndg.timer
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/rebalancer-lndg.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/htlc-stream-lndg.service

Setup the lndg-controller as described here:

Channels that do not fall within these two ranges will run a flow based algorithm.
