lightning-exposesecret -- Command for extracting the hsm_secret file for backup
SYNOPSIS
exposesecret passphrase [identifier]
DESCRIPTION
The exposesecret RPC command allows you to read the HSM secret, and does not work with encrypted hsm secrets. It only operates if the exposesecret-passphrase has been set in the configuration.
- passphrase (string): The passphrase, which must match the
exposesecret-passphraseconfiguration parameter. - identifier (string, optional): A four-character, valid lowercase bech32 string (not 1, i, o or b) to use in the resulting BIP-93 output. If not specified, this is generated from the node alias.
RETURN VALUE
On success, an object is returned, containing:
- identifier (string): The four-character identifier used in the codex32 output. Redundant, but presented separately for clarity.
- codex32 (string): The full codex32-encoded (i.e. BIP-93 encoded) HSM secret.
