TLDR:

1. take any linux machine, install lnbits, takes few command lines and 10 min

2. Use caddy for reverse proxy and link to a subdomain (lnbits.yourdomain.com), takes 2 min

3. connect to your LN node or any other LSP (LNpay or LNTipBot for example). Takes 1 min

Done! You have a working LNbits instance.

Thanks! I'll probably end up doing that.

Ha! After reading your comment I just went to search for a how-to to do this and your guide was the first result! Thanks!

What do you reckon is a decent system requirements for a VPS running Lnbits, Caddy, Wireguard that accesses a remote Postgres and LN node through a wg tunnel?

1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM sufficient? Or more CPU / RAM?

thx

Yes, it could run OK, but more ram is better. Depends on your use case. LNbits in general do not use too much resources.

This is a popular guide in the LNBits community that follows a similar approach:
