Very inexpensive to buy (or make yourself!) link and run of of LNBits software with LNUrlPoS extension
You can get it at https://shop.lnbits.com/ and easily run it with the open source lightning extension LnBits . It's awesome because it doesn't even have to be online to receive lightning or onchain payments.

So you could run the LND and manage the channels while having multiple clients that don't have to bother with all of that but just use create accounts on top of our setup to utilize the lightning network.
