hey, i'm interested to beta test. here's my situation:
  • i have a VPS running nginx
  • i have no LN node or BTC node running in VPS (yet, i'm pretty sure somebody could help me understand best practices here, but i've been delaying the project because i don't have the immediate understanding)
  • i'm comfortable in CLI tools (can setup a systemd service) but not a greybeard or anything cool like that
  • i have about 10 hours i could dedicate to getting this setup in the next week
  • having this in place would enable me to accept LN for my business (fundamentally, i need customers who will pay in LN... but cart/horse etc...)
hit me on nostr if you want.

Hi. So you won't need to add any systemd services or anything like that with this. All you would need to do is run something like "nodana start" and this will spin up a phoenixd instance. You can then connect to it from your app and call the phoenixd endpoints as per their documentation. It's what I do on Sintra - just create an invoice and then listen (via websockets) for when it's paid.

Not quite sure what you mean by "relying on their lightning node" but with phoenixd there'll always be some dependence on ACINQ - in return you don't need to worry about channels and liquidity like you would need to with a standard Lightning node.
