How to make lntop more accessible in a docker?

[jonathanalevi]

Hi Every time I want to start a new LNDTOP session, I need to first do export LND_HOME=~/.lnd

And then run it with the longer command, using the full file path.

I wonder if there isn't a way to permanently set the LND_HOME, and also set up a command so I can just type "lntop" in the future.

I was able to do this with bashtop following these instructions (https://bigl.es/tuesday-tooling-on-a-fun-friday-bashtop/), so perhaps it's doable also with lntop - but I don't know, because I didn't try bashtop in a docker.

The docker generates a config file in the volume, you can modify it and its values will be used later. https://github.com/edouardparis/lntop/tree/master/docker#docker

lntop data will be mapped to host folder at ./_volumes/lntop-data note that you can review/tweak ./_volumes/lntop-data/config-template.toml after first run the ./_volumes/lntop-data/config.toml is the effective (generated) config used by lntop run

OK, and then I just do the ./ command to launch it? There's no way to make a quick command line command like "lntop" just launch it?

In any case, fixing the export thing every time would be super helpful, so thank you. I just can't figure out how to get to that config.toml file....? when you say "on the volume" I guess you mean in the docker?
