How to check if Electrum GUI with Electrum remote watchtower works correctly?

[tia1mil]

Hi,

I have configured electrum to run as a watchtower on a linux server. This daemon seems to run fine (e.g., block height is correct etc.).

On my Mac I use the Electrum GUI and have configured it to use the remote watchtower (https://user:pwd@mydomain.net).

The problem is that I don't get any feedback whether this setup is now really working, neither on the server (this is a remote machine so I cannot run the Qt GUI as described here https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/watchtower.html) nor on the local client (there's nothing related to the watchtower in the logs). Any hints?

In the local client (Electrum daemon), your "watchtower_db" file in Electrum's data directory should be updated in every new lightning transaction that you did in the remote client that it watches.

With that, try to perform an experiment with small lightning transactions in the remote client then check that file.
