Feature request: Allow rebalance-lnd to run remotely on a different machine #228

Hey! I run my node on AWS and it struggles to handle multiple parallel rebalances because memory usage spikes up so I do most tasks like bos rebalances from my laptop via grpc. Can you add support for like a JSON file that stores base64 values of macaroon, cert and socket that lets rebalance-lnd connect to your node and it uses it to authenticate and run rebalances from a different machine?

What about --lnddir and --grpc?

What about --lnddir and --grpc?

but that would mean I have to download the lnd folder onto my machine, correct?

You just need to have tls.cert and data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/admin.macaroon in there.
