7 replies \ @DarthCoin 13 Feb \ on: Can / Should One Run Core Lightning and LND on the Same Node? lightning
Yes, I was running both on an Umbrel software, some time ago. But just for testing. I will NOT recommend doing it with Umbrel or any other software like that.
In theory works fine, but if you are not enough skilled with CLI and all that stuff, you will have serious problems doing it and none of your nodes will work properly.
I can enter in more details, but is quite long.
Why would you want to run such a scenario? Is better to try to compartmentalize things...
Fun fact: did you know that you can run a BTC Core + CLN, activate neutrino on that Core node and then from other machine, just install LND and point it to your local Core node neutrino to sync? So in this way you do not need a 2nd core node with LND...
Is it a bad idea?
I can say yes... because you can kill easily your disk drive. LN nodes require a lot of I/O and with just one LN node is enough to stress it at maximum... with 2 nodes is killing totally.

Would it also prematurely wear out an NVM SSD?

Why would you use a NVM SSD. I've used SSDs for years with no issue though. I wouldn't waste the sats on an NVMe drive. SSD should be fine. As darth said. Not about speed. No need for the speed.

Just the constant wear and tear?

Here I wrote some guides in regards of running multiple nodes. You can run also public / private combination...

Thanks. I think it was one of these guides that was in the back of my mind.
