 Currently running a #Start9 #StartOS TOR only Bitcoin / Lightning / BTCPay server node including my own lighting address behind a clearnet domain+ssl. No VPS, no complex (and slow) TOR forwarding.

I'm using the free tiers of Cloudflare websites, ssl, dns and tunnels and the StartOS wrapper I made for the cloudflared tunnel client: https://github.com/remcoros/cloudflared-startos

Basic knowledge of how to setup a cloudflare domain, ssl and a tunnel is required but it's mainly clicking through the UIs.

Leave a comment if you're interested in setting up something like this and have questions. 
 I haven't tried this yet, but it looks like we can run Start9 apps over Clearnet if we're willing to make a few trade-offs.

 I’d like to try something like that, no coder here though. 
 OMG!! 🤩😎 
 @Start9 StartOS is by far my favorite stack for a self managed node, but waiting on the major redesign for clearnet capabilities has been painful to say the least. It’s still the best design / architecture IMHO and I hope they can continue the quality when the clearnet features finally land. The PR diff is scary large… 😱

In the interim will definitely check out your Cloudflare solution! 👏 
 Trying this now! I found this note from a simple google seach 😱 
 haha! not much grafana/prometheus content out there yet for BitAxe yet I suppose. The dashboard I showed here is in my PR in that repo. 
 wait never mind. My nostr client fcked up. Wrong thread :D
