lightning-node-management VS raspibolt

This was helpful for #8 to get a watchtower going: https://lightningnetwork.plus/watchtower. The instructions are slightly different with a RaspiBlitz, but you can use the info from that page with these instructions to get it set up: https://github.com/openoms/lightning-node-management/blob/master/advanced-tools/watchtower.md

You can set your node to be monitored by a watchtower. More here. If something happens while your node is down, they will help catch it.

Here is a good resource when starting a LN node: https://openoms.gitbook.io/lightning-node-management/

For those interested in setting up a their own lightning node, check out Raspibolt, Umbrel, Plebnet .

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/.

If you want an actual guide with a lot of the bells and whistles explained I recommend https://raspibolt.org/

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.
