CLN 0.12.1
I have bitcoin core running on one machine (Debian 11) and would like set up CLN (C-Lightning) on another machine (Ubuntu 22.04) on the same network. My first test was to use the --bitcoin-... command line parameters to try to get this application connected to my node.
Here is the result.
$ lightningd --lightning-dir=./cln-dir/ --bitcoin-rpcuser=xxxxxx --bitcoin-rpcpassword=xxxxxx --bitcoin-rpcconnect=192.168.1.38 --bitcoin-rpcport=8901
bitcoin-cli not found. Is bitcoin-cli (part of Bitcoin Core) available in your PATH?
Make sure you have bitcoind running and that bitcoin-cli is able to connect to bitcoind.
You can verify that your Bitcoin Core installation is ready for use by running:
$ bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=192.168.1.38 -rpcport=8901 -rpcuser=... -rpcpassword=... echo 'hello world'

The Bitcoin backend died.
I have bitcoin-cli on the machine I am running CLN on, so I tried it again, this time providing the bitcoin-cli command line parameter, but I got the same result. If I give it the bitcoin-datadir parameter (which is actually a directory on the other machine), it gives me the same result.
I decided to try bitcoin-cli just to make sure it is possible. With bitcoin core 23.0 running on one machine and bitcoin-cli running on the other, the following command worked.
$ bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=192.168.1.38 -rpcport=8901 -rpcuser=xxxxxx -rpcpassword=xxxxxx echo 'hello world'

"hello world"

Is there a way to run CLN without using bitcoin-cli?
I just started trying to set this up today, so I am not familiar with CLN at all. Is it even possible to do what I am trying to do? If so, what parameters need to be set in order to get it to work?
