364 sats \ 3 replies \ @aljaz 14h \ on: 🕴️ Anonymous poll: Your LND node is running on...? lightning
i'm not sure that categorization makes sense. btcpayserver is not a way of hosting, it just a project that also packages a lightning node with it. Also all of the software you listed under "self hosted" can be run anywhere. sure most of them also sell hardware, but you can easily run umbrel on AWS, not just on a raspi at home.
self hosting, at least by wikipedias definition doesn't mean that the hardware needs to be in your basement but that you maintain (at least parts) of the infrastructure, namely the virtual machine/server.
so i think the poll is a bit weird because 5/7 options are software projects. 4/7 also do hardware. 2/7 are infrastructure providers for nodes in the cloud, arguably still self custodial (i'm not familiar with nodana's security model), tho the trust model includes voltage in it.

I made this categorization planning on next guide for a specific use case that maybe I should have mentioned... There are so many... I try to keep focus!

my complaint is not that the list is not exhaustive but that the categorization is flawed at best and definitions unclear/wrong

That's why self-hosted, I mean you can also run it on a home-server, no?
I understand from certain points does not make sense, but for the purpose I need it does. Maybe I should just have skip adding that table and avoid confusion!
