problem opening lightning terminal on umbrel

I was having trouble opening Lightning Terminal recently on umbrel. On the apps page of umbrel, Lightning Terminal would blink and say "Starting..." and not resolve itself. I uninstalled and reinstalled which got it working. I had an account on Lightning Loop. Is there any way to recover my account or am I out of luck?

Thank you!

We can't really help you without any additional details. Maybe it's best to ask the Umbrel team for support on this, as it seems the App itself isn't starting correctly.

Funds on Pool can be recovered as long as you still have the seed for the lnd node that you used when creating the account. So as soon as you get Lightning Terminal working again, we can help you with the recovery process here.

Lightning Terminal is working again. I have my umbrel seed. Is that the seed I need or is there another one that gets created?

I'm not really familiar with Umbrel. But I assume that there is just one kind of seed. So if Lightning Terminal is running again, I assume you don't see your Pool account if you go to the Pool page? If you don't see your account, you'll need to run the account recovery. The command you need to run is pool accounts recover. But how exactly you get to the command line to execute that is something the Umbrel support needs to instruct you on, as I'm not familiar with the setup in detail.

Lightning Terminal is running and I don't see my pool account on the pool page like you said. I can interact with my node using CLI, but I don't know where this pool command is. I see bitcoin-cli, lncli and lnd directory along with other stuff. I'm new to CLI. I see this excerpt from docs.lightning.engineering regarding loop:

"If you want to interact with Loop in Lightning Terminal through the command line, you will need to specify the port and tls.cert every time you run loop using the flag --rpcserver=localhost:8443 --tlscertpath=~/.lit/tls.cert, for example ./loop --rpcserver=localhost:8443 --tlscertpath=~/.lit/tls.certquote in 500000"

I don't know what any of that means, but wonder if it's similar for pool.
