## Notes

BTCPay Server is a self-hosted cryptocurrency payment processor that pays into the merchant's own wallet. The official Docker deployment generates a Compose stack on a dedicated Linux host: BTCPay Server, PostgreSQL for BTCPay Server and plugin data, NBXplorer, Bitcoin Core and Nginx. The deployment page states that BTCPay can also run on a third-party host.

## Worth knowing

The deployment page says manual deployments and hardware builds are not recommended for production environments.
