Re: IBC headless gateway with wsl2?
Richard, I think it is a philosophical question, do you want to own and manage your own infrastructure or delegate it to someone else?

Re: IBC headless gateway with wsl2?
The setup you are following is way too complex and outright dangerous when you run it within a cloud instance. You will severely compromise your server's security if you punch a hole into the AWS
