For anyone else wanting to run pandacoind on their headless boxes, I put up a short guide on http://devrandom.serveblog.net. I still have PandaBank on my Windows machine but it now runs in Lite Mode since I don't turn it on that frequently. Thanks again mtrycz!


That's great! Happy to see you actually got around to publishing it.

Some minor nitpicks to make it perfect:
* add how to encrypt a newly created wallet
* state that the default dir for pandacoind is /home/user/.pandacoind - that's what's used when you don't supply a -datadir (and what I use for simplisity)
* also, state how to alias the command with a shorthand
* state that compiling on a Raspberry Pi could require setting additional swap; there are lots of guides for this
* security consideration: I run pandacoind with a dedicated user, created just for this; it's a good idea to run every wallet with a different user to keep things separate. Also, don't run the wallet with the user you connect to with ssh.
* maybe add an tl;dr at the end (setup script and commands recap)

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll update the article
