Q: Do you need to host a node on the same VPS as you're running the #BTCPay server on or can you connect remotely to the node using c-lighting-rest, spark, etc?
Discussion
A connection via VPN is possible. The whole thing via LND-Rest, for example.
I'm running Core Lightning so but I guess the TCP option on c-lightning is c-lightning-rest. Thanks anyways, I'll check out the docs.
Did you set up a Wireguard tunnel for the LND-Rest traffic?
Tailscale would also be an option that works reliably.
You don't. It can be anywhere as long as you have network access to it.
