I have had a lot of fear that I will make a mistake with my own node. I want to be as sovereign as possible, but I am not great with technical things. I am working on setting up Alby hub on my umbrel right now. This will be my third attempt to run my own lightning.
@DarthCoin when he sees this

Just wanted to ask - have you tried the LND lightning node on Umbrel?
I too use an umbrel and honestly it's been really easy to use, no command line required.
Reading the instructions the 2 most important things seem to be 1) backing up the 24 words associated with the LND 'node' itself.
and 2) backing up the 'channel state' digitally on your computer/another computer for each channel you have open. That way should something happen to the Umbrel you can recover the funds + the state of the channel on another device.

It's been a while since I had a node at all. I don't remember what exactly I tried. I was smoking a lot of weed back then, which never helps me learn new technical things. I am sure it has gotten easier. I'm looking forward to getting into it.
