Any chance of getting this merged? I'll be glad for the review/comments and hints for improvement. Thanks! @erikarvstedt @jonasnick

Thanks @seberm for your effort to keep this PR up to date!

I talked to Sergi, the main developer of teos, and he says that he isn't actively developing it but is planning to continue maintenance mode. He hasn't managed to make a new release so far and suggests to use master instead of the release.

So I don't think there is anything fundamental that's blocking this module as long as it is useful even in its current state. Needs review before it can get merged.

Hello @jonasnick,

He hasn't managed to make a new release so far and suggests to use master instead of the release.

The teos package is now part of nixkpgs upstream. I am not sure if we can use the master branch directly there.

However, if Sergi recommends using the master branch, I can prepare a package overlay at least for nix-bitcoin.

For anyone interested in getting this merged, please test it and feel free to provide a review. I'll be glad to address any issues.

Thanks!

Looks good to me.
I started testing this now with CLN as a backend and the teos daemon on a separate host with a pruned bitcoind.
Works great so far with minimal configuration.

Still running great on my side. I would love to see this in a release.

I'm planning to cut a release sooner rather than later, which will include all the changes pointed out in the PR description AFAICT. Is there anything else that'd needed?

I'm running the watchtower and plugin modules from this PR and its working well.

It would be nice to have a service that automatically registers with the tower and renews the subscription when needed. But we can add that later.

Also I opened a PR to add a flake to TEOS.

@nixbitcoin @erikarvstedt @jonasnick

Is it worthwhile to continue working on and rebasing this PR? Is there a possibility that nix-bitcoin will incorporate these changes?
Thanks!
