for server hardware i use https://github.com/seth586/guides/blob/master/FreeNAS/bitcoin/README.md but it's not a user friendly package

For those running FreeNas/TrueNas this guide is an excellent resource for standing up a Bitcoin/Lightning node https://github.com/seth586/guides/tree/master/FreeNAS/bitcoin

Here is a guide for a more powerful setup than the typical Raspberry Pi nodes: https://github.com/seth586/guides/blob/master/FreeNAS/bitcoin/README.md

Have you looked into zfs? Here is a guide using it on TrueNas but I believe it could be set up on a pi if desired.

My home lab is a TrueNAS server I put together with used parts about a year ago. While I've been running a bitcoin full node for years in a Linux VM, I ported it to a FreeBSD jail when I setup the server at the time. It wasn't a big stretch to throw a lightning server on top of that. Incidentally, after setting up my lightning node, I discovered that someone else had essentially done the same thing: https://github.com/seth586/guides/tree/master/FreeNAS/bitcoin. That guide inspired me to get RTL up and running for a pretty GUI.

p.s.: if you're unfamiliar with these terms, I suggest you read the How the Lightning Network works chapter of Mastering The Lightning Network by Andreas Antonopoulos. It's not too technical and if you have a basic understanding of Bitcoin, you won't have any trouble reading it.

Mastering the lightning network

You can read all about it here if you are interested: https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook/blob/develop/12_path_finding.asciidoc

I don't know about videos, but if you want to go technically deep, good start is Mastering Bitcoin (https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook) followed by Mastering the Lightning Network (https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook)

Lnbook getting closer towards being finished and can already be seen at: https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook

No problem. If you want to deep dive into LN, there a free and open-source book here, the first few chapters explain a lot about this without being too technical, and the following one really go deeper: https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook/

I recommend you to read Mastering the Lightning Network, especially this chapter, which explains the basics of how the LN works.
