 Big shoutout to one of our longest-standing Foundation supporters, 
https://lunanode.com for launching a BTCPay Server deployment guide on their website:

https://lunanode.com/guides/btcpay

They've simplified deploying instances for years; @ROCKSTAR consistently uses them for conference demos.

You can also check out guide in our docs: https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/LunaNode/

 LunaNode never failed me, love them. 
 Yep.  LunaNode is great and reasonably priced solution.

But greater is BTCPay Server.   Anyone wanting to run a lightning node should investigate doing it with BTCPay Server.  Its so stupid easy to do so.

I've since shutdown my LunaNode instance in favor of running it in Oracle Cloud free-forever service offering.

As a small node operator, one can't justify the hosting cost given the small amount of forwarding fees collected.

I'm in it for the education so that is how I make sense of it.
