How do I start running my own node
I would start my research with Umbrel, Raspiblitz, Mynodebtc, RaspiBolt or Embassy. A couple of guides: https://thecryptogarage.com/umbrel-linux-ubuntu-node-build/ https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

How do I do sovereign non-custodial lightning ?
If you're willing to DIY a bit, I strongly recommend the RaspiBolt guide!
- BitcoinCore V22.0.0 initial set-up and synchronisation
- how to run a full node?
- Full Node Hardware

Cornelius (my LN routing node) is 2 years old today!
RPi4 in a box. Used the RaspiBolt guide for initial software setup.

Difference between Umbrel, Start9, or native programs?
Sounds like you'll enjoy the Raspibolt guide - it's how I set up my node. GUI stuff is in the "bonus" section. r/raspibolt for help
-
Help running full node
If you're the DIY type I strongly recommend the raspibolt tutorial - geared for a Pi but good for any device, just substitute arm64 for your architecture.

Run a node
Check out the raspibolt tutorial. Geared for a Pi but applies well to any capable device

Mentor Monday, November 21, 2022: Ask all your bitcoin questions!
Another way is to setup a full node on a dedicated device and follow the guide to setup everything so you can connect a hardware wallet to your node: https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

Analyzing Bitcoin Transactions with Lightning Node Insights
Install LND: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md#install-lnd Install Bitcoin Core: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md#building-with-mingw-w64-cross-tools

Simulate your first Lightning transaction on the Bitcoin regtest network Part 1 (MacOS)
To be able to follow along, you must have both bitcoind and lnd installed.

If I connect a personal wallet to my Bitcoin Lightning node, do I have to open a channel?
If you want multiple users, you'll need multiple node instances. LNbits (mentioned by /u/sos755) does not implement this. Rather, it simply abstracts the funds associated with a single node into multiple logical accounts. This means that the node administrator still has underlying control of all funds associated with the node. See this GitHub discussion for a bit more info: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/2652
- recommendations for a docker container

I have a dedicated LN seed phrase on a metal seed storage and would like to import it into an LN wallet + would like to have a basic backup of LN data on an encrypted cloud = Which wallet can handle this? Any advice? Note: I don’t want to run an LN node right now.
LND doesn’t use BIP39 mnemonics. https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/README.md

Advice/suggestions on running a BTC node (w/ lnd) on a Mac Mini 2018
Both Bitcoin Core and LND have binaries available for macOS, for example. I have not seen an actual guide to set everything up on macOS tho. It's quite similar to Linux honestly.
-
How do you default LND to use Taproot and enable RBF (for on-chain transactions)?
As for taproot change addresses, this has been the default behaviour since version 0.15.5. Just update your lnd and you're all set.
- LND Channel Funds
- lnd v0.16.0-beta released! Huge update - bimodal pathfinding, fundpsbt changes, bug fixes, and more!
