That looks fine.
Eclair does not have an UI.
You can only interact with it from your command line

[gery89]

Yes it's ok, I try eclair cli and it runs ok.

Thanks

We used to have a GUI but removed it because it was sending users, especially windows users, the wrong signal: Lightning nodes, as opposed to bitcoin nodes which can be turned off and on, are not good fit for desktop machines because they need to run 24/7. They should instead run on servers/VPS and be managed from the command line. There are some projects that provide Web UIs on top of LN node APIs (like https://github.com/Ride-The-Lightning/RTL) but eclair-cli is enough even for fairly large nodes.
