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

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.

POLL: Best Lightning Wallet (noncustodial)
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.

Is my Bitcoin Node operational?
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.
