# make sure symlink to central app-data directory exists ***"

$ bos help

To set up a Telegram bot connected to your node:

WARNING: the Telegram Bot will send encrypted messages about the events on your node over clearnet, which are decrypted by the central Telegram Bot API

To avoid leaking your public IP to Telegram use torify before the bos telegram command to route communication through Tor:
torify bos telegram related issue: alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis#54

• Got to t.me/BotFather
  /newbot

• Copy the API key

• in the terminal (in tmux if want to keep running):
  torify bos telegram

• paste the API key to the terminal

• In your new TG bot:
  /connect

• paste the connection code to the terminal for bos.

Update the scripts from RaspiBlitz v1.4:

/home/admin/XXsyncScripts.sh v1.5

sudo /usr/sbin/groupadd --force --gid 9700 lndadmin
sudo /usr/sbin/groupadd --force --gid 9701 lndinvoice
sudo /usr/sbin/groupadd --force --gid 9702 lndreadonly

sudo /home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.credentials.sh
# SYNC

Probably insanely obvious, but if you get an error that the grpc module is missing, and it tells you to try npm rebuild, actually try doing that.

Just saying, since when I read that message I didn't take it seriously.

Hi

I hope you can help, but I am running into a 503 when i run any commands e.g bos rebalance.

great plugin.
