That said, the benefits of using and understanding lnd directly are huge. I strongly recommend the raspibolt tutorial to anybody who is willing to learn to run a simple linux system via command line.

So overall I recommend you to start from the scratch using at least a 1TByte SSD, better 2. And either follow https://raspibolt.org/ for full sovereignty. Or if that seems too difficult for you look into https://raspiblitz.org/.

A new full node is born.

The main sources of information to build my full node are Ministry Of Nodes’ video tutorials on YouTube and the incredible RaspiBolt guide. Both have been very useful to get me started in this beautiful project, but I faced some issues every now and then due to the fact that I was dealing with newer versions of the apps and things didn’t work out of the box all the time so I had to RTFM here and there.
