Just a note, LNBits is an accounting overlay system on top of your channel balances, used to give individual 'wallets' access to the aggregate balance of your node. RTL and Thunderhub are more like web interfaces to the Node software. They do different things -- both can send payments, but they provide a different visibility of your node.
Now you have a full node running, consider setting up something like BTCPayServer: https://btcpayserver.org/ to handle payments! It has integration with eCommerce software like shopify and woocommerce. You could even facilitate payments for your friends store using this and giving them their own wallet access using LNBits too.
For folks that want an opinionated full node stack including Core, LND/CLN, RTL, payment interface and invoice/lifecycle management on docker, take a look at https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker
@darthcoin Have you played with https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker (I took a quick look at your guides but i didnt see any for this).
IMHO the easiest way for folks who are comfortable enough with an ssh terminal and docker to stand up a high capability stack. Lots of optional addons like electrum server, mempool.space server, etc. Id like to get your opinion of this product.

I didn't wrote guides about BTCPay server because they have very good documentation for almost everything you need. https://docs.btcpayserver.org/

Fair enough! Can I suggest linking it from the merchant page?
I think it’s the easiest way for a merchant to get up and going with their own stack. It’s improved tremendously over the years and Nicolas and crew are doing some great work here.
reply
Yes BTCPay is a great tool for merchants.
