Does anyone have any advice when setting up a lightning node or managing channels?

And advice is appreciated.

you could also add EmbassyOS by Start9Labs to your github doc, to the self-hosted on RPi section: https://github.com/Start9Labs/embassy-os

I’ve tried Umbrel and RaspiBlitz. I’m currently using MyNode and would recommend it.

See this wiki from the bitcoin plebs: https://plebnet.wiki/wiki/Main_Page

Also, I found some of the DarthCoin's guides to be useful: https://darthcoin.substack.com/s/english

Twitter:

Thanks, I'll definitely need this soon. I'll be migrating my node from a shitty laptop into something more serious.

Not Umbrel

Why not? (I'm too in the process of setting up an LN node, so I know little about Umbrel).

Theyre doing too much and therefore Not stable compared to others. Might work well if you want only 4. Channels and you live in an area with good connection uptime. Theres just better options.
