Tools and Integrations
Voltage-hosted LND nodes can be operated directly through LND APIs and may also connect to supported operational tools. This page covers ThunderHub and Terminal Web for node operations and liquidity workflows.
Tool Matrix
Tool | Use | Access model |
|---|---|---|
ThunderHub | Node administration, channel management, balance review, transaction history, and forwarding history. | Create or launch the per-node dashboard from Applications after the node is running and unlocked. |
Terminal Web | Browser-based Lightning Terminal access for LNC-based workflows. | Available for non-Lite nodes through Readonly or Admin LNC sessions. |
ThunderHub
ThunderHub is an administrative interface for operating a Voltage-hosted LND node. Use it for operational workflows that are easier to inspect visually than through raw API calls.
Common ThunderHub workflows include:
- reviewing wallet and channel balances
- creating invoices or sending payments
- opening and managing channels
- reviewing transaction history
- reviewing forwarding history
From the node's Applications panel, create or launch the per-node ThunderHub dashboard. The Applications panel becomes available when the node is running and the wallet is unlocked. The current dashboard also supports updating or deleting the per-node application.
If ThunderHub is not available for a node or organization, use the direct LND API pages for REST, WebSocket, or gRPC workflows.
Terminal Web
Terminal Web provides browser-based access to Lightning Terminal using Lightning Node Connect. It is useful when an operator needs Lightning Terminal tooling without manually moving macaroon files into a local environment.
Terminal Web is available for non-Lite nodes. Use the Voltage LNC manager to create a Readonly or Admin pairing phrase, then connect through Terminal Web.
Unused pairing phrases expire after 10 minutes. Treat pairing phrases like credentials: create them only for trusted operators, choose Readonly unless Admin actions are required, and revoke the session when access is no longer needed.
Security Notes
- Tool access can authorize real node actions. Give access only to trusted operators.
- Prefer Readonly access for routine observation and use Admin access only when required.
- Store pairing phrases, macaroons, and node credentials as secrets.
- Creating or managing privileged sessions requires node-password-authorized access.
- Revoke sessions after operator changes, suspected compromise, or temporary troubleshooting.
