Can someone confirm the minimum required for a remote server setup for delegated harvesting
1- NIS running
2- NCC running
3- a wallet unlocked
from my experiences over recent days it looks like the NIS stops downloading blocks (so delegated harvesting stops on the local PC wallet) if a wallet is not open in the NCC on the remote server, but I'm not 100% sure.
A remote server should run NIS only. NCC should always run locally!
So once you have NIS running on the remote server and it is booted (manually from NCC or by entering a bootkey into NIS config.properties [but please don't enter priv keys as bootkey from accounts with funds]), you can connect to that NIS and start delegated harvesting.

http://blog.nem.io/nem-tutorial-list/Thanks for that answer! So on the remote server I open NCC in a browser, boot the NIS, then I can close the browser (which closes NCC?) and NIS should stay running?
On my remote server the NIS keeps stopping, but I'm not sure why.
edit: so to start the NIS you DON'T need to unlock a wallet on the remote server?
I have turned on harvesting (both local and delegated) and then completely shut down NCC in the stand alone and harvested blocks just fine. I have also used the installer and run the full program and turned on harvesting (both local and delegated) and completely logged off of NCC and closed my browser and still harvested fees just fine.
