To simplify working with your node, you can use spark wallet: https://github.com/shesek/spark-wallet

You can install it on the same machine your lightning node is running like this:

$ npx spark-wallet -i 0.0.0.0

This will serve a web app that you can access from browser https://localhost:9737/

It will ask you for login / password that are stored locally in ~/.spark-wallet/cookie:

$ cat ~/.spark-wallet/cookie && echo rmqbd:4XoFPz6Itb8_2gw:hk0awOiC4IqKAfPOmv3Sr65j3Ff38moQoyDFcr90P0

Which means you have to enter rmqbd as login and 4XoFPz6Itb8_2gw as pwd and will be presented with something like this:

To enable debug tools, you need to press on version number (v0.2.9) and you will turn extra functionality like console and logs.
