Doubt with lightning-charge and nanotip #55
Description
I don't know if this is the right place to ask for this. But the irc channel at freenode is kinda empty.
I have the following set up: A full bitcoin node and lightning node running c-lightning.
On top of my lighting node I have lightning charge and nanotip.
But in https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning-charge it says the following
Note that Charge does not have TLS encryption and should not normally be exposed directly to the public internet. For remote access, you should setup an SSH tunnel or a TLS-enabled reverse proxy like nginx.
So a searched online and get my nanotip working using a ssh tunnel like this
$ ssh user@external_ip -R 9000:localhost:9112 -f -N
It is working and I think I did everything right!
My nanotip can be reached from the web but to create a invoice it uses port 9000. And that port has a ssh tunnel to 9112 port of lighting charge.
Is the correct approach?
