Lightning Terminal Pool Account Recovery

[bpedreira]

Hello

I am trying to recover my Pool account at Lightning Terminal, following the instructions from Troubleshooting - Builder’s Guide (lightning.engineering), but I am getting this error:

[pool] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error performing recovery: could not recover account xxxxxx: error during authentication, before sending subscribe: server sent unexpected error

If I repeat the procedure the error changes to:

[pool] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error performing recovery: could not recover account xxxx: account xxxx is already subscribed, cannot recover

I am afraid of loosing my funds!
Can you help me complete the recovery?
Thanks.

It looks like you already have an instance of pool (or lit) running. You need to shut it down before starting a new one (and the recovery process)

I have already deleted the Lightning Terminal app from Umbrel and reinstalled many times.

@bpedreira did you double check that there was no other litd/poold terminal running in the machine?

Does removing your Lightning terminal app from Umbrel delete the pool.db file? That may be the reason why the recovery process is failing.
