bitcoind has finished its sync, now I can start electrs. I wasn't sure how slow the sync would be so I tried it first from scratch but it was going very slow, would probably take days, so instead I copied over the data from my old disk, which was around 50 GB. With bitcoind running, electrs running, I can start the mempool backend and my now local block explorer is working: image

now I should also be able to start lightning lnd but I was getting errors: [ERR] LTND: unable to create partial chain control: unable to determine if bitcoind is pruned: unable to detect bitcoind version I vaguely remember @Derek Ross posted about a special config flag and after some digging around that was it: lnd can’t connect to bitcoin core v28 without it, after adding the flag the problem went away and my lightning channels are back online.
