Great guide, and you touch on important points that other guides don't. You do well describing which hardware to choose, whether it is something like Voltage or using your own hardware.

We've made some docs for the Lightning network.

Gave it a glance, saw this

Impressed, this is very good signal... few understand the importance of the channel state storage

I did notice this one piece of counter-signal, Tor use should be discouraged as a honeypot which also makes Lightning unusable

Suggest replacing with ssh -R to a low-end VPS or at worst a VPN service where privacy is a consideration

Very good guide! One mention: please insert a chapter talking about the differences between PUBLIC and PRIVATE LN nodes. The whole guide you've talk is about public nodes and you missed out a lot to talk about the private ones.

I will give some hints here: #486306

Love the upfront transparency!

Started skimming, but will read through later. Looks good!

ty for writing this - I am in the process of rebuilding my own node & helping a friend get theirs set up - I'd like to get them & myself on the right path and this is going to be really helpful to look at/ send to them
