Core is the backend I think?

Hosting your own lightning node will be overkill. Maybe there are some public lightning nodes that would be open to being the sponsor of new zap.stream hosts?

Oh so you mean if I install it. It's only the backend so streamers can connect to it? and I won't have a front end website like zap stream? that's exactly what I want.

The instructions say you need a lnd node. I assume it's because that's how streamers will pay you for them using your server.

Nobody seems to have installed it so we don't know. I assume because it requires technical expertise to install and manage which is what most people don't have or want. At least the streamers.

If you want the frontend as well I think you need to run https://github.com/v0l/zap.stream which is the frontend client

Yeah will need a LND to facilitate the zaps. I can’t see why that couldn’t be hosted elsewhere though
