Lighthouses also as nodes?

[djarbz]

I have 2 VPS' and I would like to run a LH on each for redundancy.

I would also like these hosts to communicate with each other over the Nebula mesh, but I can't add static hosts to a lighthouse.

Is there a recommended way to do this, or will I need to run Nebula as a LH and as a Node on the same host?

The common way to do this is to add static host entries for the lighthouses just like you would for the non lighthouse nodes.

Just to confirm, you are referring to this section of the configuration?

# The static host map defines a set of hosts with fixed IP addresses on the internet (or any network).
# A host can have multiple fixed IP addresses defined here, and nebula will try each when establishing a tunnel.
# The syntax is:
#   "{nebula ip}": ["{routable ip/dns name}:{routable port}"]
# Example, if your lighthouse has the nebula IP of 192.168.100.1 and has the real ip address of 100.64.22.11 and runs on port 4242:
static_host_map:
  "10.0.0.1": ["123.237.128.56:143"]

Yes, any regular host needs a list of static addresses of lighthouses to talk to, https://nebula.defined.net/docs/config/static-host-map/.

So any lighthouse that should also be a regular host should have the other lighthouses in its static_host_map

Excellent, thank you!
