Raspiblitz: Add the Loop service to RaspiBlitz
Lightning Labs released the Aplha of Loop:
https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop
For example running Loop on the RaspBlitz it could be possible to monitor the channel balances in the background and automatically send funds to on-chain wallets (hardware wallet) to regain inbound capacity and store earnings in a cold-wallet.
At the moment its very experimental and you would need to replace LND on the raspiblitz with a fresh self-compiled version from the LND Github master. And the loopd services needs to be installed.
Interesting to see would be:
- how much resources does the loopd service consumes on the RaspiBlitz
- what config parameter would a automatic loop-out script need
...
So if someone is getting loopd runnign with LND on a RaspiBlitz, please report/share your experiences.

AFAIK you will need to build LND from source to be able to test this feature until the new release is out.

I heard that LND 0.6 release is just around the corner. Shortly after that the raspiblitz v1.2 will be out - containing the LND 0.6 and I think then everybody can start playing/researching on how to best integrate it to the RaspiBlitz.

Started experimenting with the Loop out service.
The installation script is functional:
https://github.com/openoms/raspiblitz-extras#loop-service
Started this new repo to help testing new features in a compatible way but as a separate extension package. Will aim to include the other extra features too.

My first successful Loop out (could specify a cold-storage address, but did not so funds returned to my LND wallet on-chain):
Note the max predicted fee of 25147 and final fee of 4XXX sats. Still looking forward to be able to control the miner fees: https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop/issues/36
$ loop out --channel XXXXXXXXXXXXX --amt 500000
Max swap fees for 500000 Loop Out: 25147

Run `loop monitor` to monitor progress. [3/72]

Loop GUI is coming to RTL: https://twitter.com/Suheb__/status/1198671293366898688
Shall we trigger these couple of lines (https://github.com/openoms/raspiblitz-extras/blob/master/config.scripts/bonus.loop.sh) during the RTL install in the future or give it an entry to the menu?

I think loop should also be possible withouth RTL - so having an extra menu option would be best. But when user installs RTL - we can also trigger loop install to give the GUI full function.

@openoms after I installed loop and see the loopd running, the simple try to use the loop command results in-bash: loop: command not found

I had trouble with the Go paths, which I think have been fixed in https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/pull/918/
No after testing the latest state everything is installed on the right path:
admin@RPi4test:~$ loop | grep -c loop
5
admin@RPi4test:~$ which loop
/usr/local/gocode/bin//loop
admin@RPi4test:~$ which go
/usr/local/go/bin//go
admin@RPi4test:~$ which lndconnect
/usr/local/gocode/bin//lndconnect
Are you at the latest commit?

Just tested with the new scripts after deleting go and works.
/home/admin/config.scripts/bonus.loop.sh off
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/gocode
cd /home/admin/raspiblitz
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz.git
/home/admin/XXsyncScripts.sh v1.4 -clean
/home/admin/config.scripts/bonus.loop.sh on
I think it needs a login again for the new path settings in /etc/profile to be active.
Restarting the node just for that would be a n overkill.
Since it is a command line tool will add another line to the instructions to prompt for a new ssh session.
Can you think of a good way to automate this?

Yes reboot is a bit much - but the easiest way for now to get this done.
rootzoll

Could only reboot when Go was not installed previously.
For example if Go was installed for lndconnect in a previous session the GOPATH will be already loaded systemwide from /etc/profile and loop will be available straight after install.
openoms

The loopd.service freezes the provision script on first start because it is waiting for the lnd.service to start.
Suggesting to not restore loop on first boot to avoid this problem. It is an advanced function which can be activated from the menu later.

OK looks good. Service is running and also is stable after recovery/update.
So I am closing this issue.
