Aliases
Aliases are shortcuts for commands that can save time and make it easier to execute common and frequent commands. The following aliases do not display information in a fancy way, but they make it easier to execute commands.
Difficulty: Easy
- With user
admin, ensure you are onhomefolder and download the aliases list provided for a MiniBolt environment
$ cd /home/admin
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minibolt-guide/minibolt/main/resources/.bash_aliases -O .bash_aliases
If you want, inspect the list of aliases to make sure it does not do bad things, and modify it with your personal aliases if you want. Exit with Ctrl-X
$ nano .bash_aliases
- Execute a
sourcecommand to register changes of the.bash_aliasesfile in the.bashrcfile
$ source /home/admin/.bashrc
- Simply type "alias" to display all available aliases
[...]
alias enableallmain='sudo systemctl enable bitcoind electrs btcrpcexplorer lnd rtl scb-backup'
alias enablebitcoind='sudo systemctl enable bitcoind'
alias enablebtcrpcexplorer='sudo systemctl enable btcrpcexplorer'
alias enablecircuitbreaker='sudo systemctl enable circuitbreaker'
alias enablecln='sudo systemctl enable cln'
alias enablefulcrum='sudo systemctl enable fulcrum'
[...]
- Test some of the aliases to see if it has been installed properly
$ showmainversion
> The installed versions of the services are as follows:
> Bitcoin Core version v23.0.0
> lnd version 0.15.3-beta commit=v0.15.3-beta
> BTC RPC Explorer: "version": "3.3.0",
> Electrs: v0.9.9
> RTL: "version": "0.12.3",
> Tor version 0.4.7.10.
> NPM: v8.15.0
> NodeJS: v16.17.1
> htop 3.0.5
> nginx version: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
- To remove these special aliases, with the user
admin, simply deletes the.bash_aliasesand executes a source command to register changes. The aliases will be gone with the next login
$ rm ~/.bash_aliases
- Execute a source command to register changes to the
.bashrcfile
$ source /home/admin/.bashrc
