Hey mate, thanks for the feedback.
I am honestly debating if I will go ahead and install LND on my node yet. I will need to install Electrum Server before and see if I have enough space on the SSD. If i decide to go that route, it will be Chapter 4. I would definately install it using official release binaries.
I am glad that my little write up were useful. I want to make sure that my months of research can be sum up in a short concise matter and help other plebs.
