Walkthrough

The entrypoint no longer performs macaroon reset cleanup and now separates lnd and lncli startup paths. The unlock script uses rotation markers, tries pending and saved password candidates, and records successful rotations. It also uses stricter wallet initialization error handling and restrictive file permissions. The integration test script covers regtest startup, password forms, macaroon rotation, failure cases, persistence, and repeated upgrades.

docker-initunlocklnd.sh:107

  • This durable file contains the plaintext wallet password, but ordinary redirection creates it using the process umask (commonly mode 0644). That exposes the credential to other users in the container and also contradicts the new mode-600 assertion. Set a restrictive umask while creating it.

In `@docker-entrypoint.sh`:
- Line 121: Update the WALLET_FILE/macaroons.db reset condition in the
entrypoint so it only sets the reset flag when macaroons are enabled; account
for no-macaroons=true in LND_EXTRA_ARGS, while preserving the existing wallet
and macaroon file checks for macaroon-enabled configurations.

In `@docker-initunlocklnd.sh`:
- Line 87: Update the payload construction in the unlockwallet call using
CANDIDATE so its Base64 value has wrapping newlines removed and its expansion is
quoted, preserving the complete wallet password in the JSON passed to post.

In `@docker-startup-tests.sh`:
- Around line 42-46: Align the docker startup test helpers and assertions with
the behavior actually implemented by docker-initunlocklnd.sh and the other
startup scripts: stop relying on the uncreated $WALLET.recovery record and
recovery-* fixtures, use the supported walletunlock.json/.newpassword layout,
update the password field that save_password() changes, and wait for log
messages those scripts emit instead of nonexistent readiness or failure strings.
- Line 5: Update the documented invocation to reference the root-level
docker-startup-tests.sh script, and correct its ROOT calculation so it resolves
the repository root from the script’s actual location. Ensure upgrade()
consequently mounts the repository’s docker-entrypoint.sh and
docker-initunlocklnd.sh paths.

@rockstardev I found one review item.

  • [P2] Run the new startup regression tests in automation — docker-startup-tests.sh, Line 3
    The script is only documented for manual execution. The requested commit range does not add a workflow job, a Makefile target, or another automation reference that invokes it. As a result, future pull requests can change the startup logic without running these regression cases. Add a CI job that runs bash docker-startup-tests.sh, or add an automated target that CI invokes.

I completed a static review of commits from c58600e2c9f353502b64482a817f9306df01b7b2 through 034fe6b99208b3a3e2ec7f193f67718793e47df3. bash -n passed for all changed shell scripts.

@coderabbitai so other than script not running automatically, no other complaints? The changes to ‎docker-entrypoint.sh & docker-initunlocklnd.sh look good?

I went with completely new approach, that includes both password change and macaroon rotation.

@rockstardev Yes. Other than the missing automation invocation for docker-startup-tests.sh, I found no additional actionable issue in the reviewed range.

The changes in docker-entrypoint.sh and docker-initunlocklnd.sh look consistent with the new design:

  • docker-entrypoint.sh no longer deletes macaroon state before startup.
  • docker-initunlocklnd.sh owns the rotation workflow through LND_MACAROON_ROTATION_ID.
  • The workflow combines password changes with changepassword and new_macaroon_root_key.
  • The rotation marker prevents a completed rotation from running again.
  • The saved-password handling preserves custom password values and avoids unintended newline encoding.
  • umask 077 protects newly created local credential files.

This conclusion is from static review and shell syntax validation. I did not execute the Docker regression scenarios. Adding them to CI would provide runtime coverage for the new password-change and macaroon-rotation flow.

Learning: In `docker-entrypoint.sh` and `docker-initunlocklnd.sh`, Docker startup uses a unified `LND_MACAROON_ROTATION_ID` workflow that combines wallet password changes and macaroon root-key rotation. `docker-entrypoint.sh` must not delete macaroon state before startup; `docker-initunlocklnd.sh` performs the `changepassword` request with `new_macaroon_root_key` and uses a rotation marker to prevent repeated rotation.
