• INSERT FRESH SD 1.7.1 SSH in to the new node and continue

NOTE: When promted to your fresh Rapsiblitz there are three options but none point to *From Resucue File* which is found two steps later when choosing FRESHSETUP

• Setup New Blitz

<USE BLOCKCHAIN> <DELETE DATA>

Choose a new name →Entering existing old name.

Choose Client: → LND

Choose NEW/OLD → OLD

Choose Recover → LNDRESCUE

UPLOAD RESCUE FILE with instructions

In new terminal, inside the folder that contains the rescue-file: scp -r ./lnd-rescue-*.tar.gz bitcoin@192.168.0.126:/home/bitcoin/temp/upload/

PW: raspiblitz → 100% switching back to other terminal

→ file found

Get hint: The Raspiblitz uses 3 Passwords and that setting A + B need to be set now. No further hints to when PW C will be set.

→ PW A accepted → Pw B accepted

Next step fails:

This should be fixed in the latest release candidate image. The download link is in the dev branch. Bugs found there will be actively fixed so beat is to keep it up to date by running the shortcut command: patch in the command line.

[joernroeder]

ran into the same issue yesterday night, ported over the changes of the _provision.setup.sh script into my fresh v1.7.1 script folder and was able to restore a lnd-rescue-*.tar.gz seamlessly. Thanks, great job!
