I saw you're using an Umbrel for your node? @DarthCoin has strong opinions on those critters!
Umbrel with other mobile nodes!
I've been "annoying" @darthcoin for the whole weekend with many of my ideas / practices. 🤣 so nice having someone to ask and discuss little cool hacks.

I am not so "super specialist" in nodes. But indeed I have a lot of experience running nodes for many years, studying and testing stuff. But all at a pleb/hobby level, not professional or business level.
I know my limits and I know for sure that are many other good node runners here. Only that they are not so "talkers", not everybody want to share their experience and knowledge with others. Some of them are afraid to share that knowledge thinking that some others could take their business model or something like that.
And that's way I started writing guides exclusively for bitcoin and LN nodes, few years ago. I saw that the apps were lacking in documentation or it was super technical explained on github, just few lines of how to install and that's it. And new users had no idea what was that. So I start myself testing them and make a nice explained guide about each solution.
For example, I wrote in 2020-2021 the entire troubleshooting guide for Umbrel, with almost 30+ entries, step by step commands, tested by myself.

I feel that having different nodes(home/mobiles), opening channels ( deciding channel capacity and with whom), and setting up cold wallets is also part of the process of understanding yourself.
I see @DarthCoin had some gem updates here, I read it a few more times and slowly improving my own setup.
