Hey guys. Tom from Nodana here. Thanks for the shoutout. New site is now up and running and just released the CLI (yesterday!) so people can spin up a phoenixd node from the terminal. No registration required either.

Sorry, not 1m... my bad. But it's enough to test things out.

Hey all. Now able to accept test users. Got a limited number of API keys to give out so DM me on Nostr and I'll ping one over. Beta test keys come with 1m sats (sorry these can't be withdrawn to a wallet).

I just mean Nodana's API (to control containers for example) will be a RESTful API but I would recommend using the cli anyway. Nodana doesn't control the Phoenixd API so you would need to consult their docs when interacting with it.

No problem. By REST, I assumed you actually meant standard HTTP requests rather than use a cli. The Phoenixd API isn't particularly RESTful though fwiw but Nodana's will be.

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.

Interaction with the Nodana api you mean? If so then yes as the nodana-cli just calls these endpoints anyway. If you mean interaction with phoenixd then again yes as per their documentation. This would simply be a cloud-based version and you can call the endpoints in the normal way via your own dedicated connection uri.

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.

Hey. So the cli I mention is to administer Nodana, not phoenixd. For example, you can start and stop phoenixd containers with the cli. Nodana provides the cloud based phoenixd instance without you needing to spin up a server, configure it, set up Nginx, DNS etc. I guess some people will be happy to do the server admin stuff and some won't be. Hope that answers your questions.

Sure, anything in particular?

I stripped out a Voltage Node and replaced it with Phoenixd on Sintra. Considerably cheaper and very easy to work with. No complaints so far.

Unless Grayscale keep selling.
