Just writing some code

I am out of my moondollars for a day or so because Core is reindexing.
I try to find a better solution than having Core run on my daily windows machine that does need a reboot once in a while and sometimes several in a row (including forced power off).
My idea is if I could run the full node on a linux server that is on 24/7 in the basement, but have my windows machine with the wallet on that daily windows machine accessing the database on the linux server.
Is that a possibility and if so, how would I configure that?
Thanks - Merlin

Unfortunately this is not possible.

One solution may be to use two wallets, Bitcoin Core on the server and an SPV client on the windows machine. The SPV client can usually be set to only connect to your server as its peer so you still get the safety of the blockchain.

Or you can use a wallet that utilizes Bitcoin Core's rpc server.

I can imagine there is documentation about that - if so, I would appreciate a hint where I could find that :-)

If you find a wallet to use a json-rpc connection.

Or, let bitcoind run on your Linux server and start armory also on your server but in an x forwarding session... Armory can use the blockchain bitcoind created.

I'm not sure if this will work tough... But you can try it out
