🤔 I too spent some time installing this kind of stack from scratch. I switched to litd recently, because I wanted to try lightning terminal. I think most setups use litd now (it has lnd built in, and is basically the same thing but with a few extras).
For multiple wallets, lnbits handles this for me (with either lnd or litd) I know the recent trend has been to shit on lnbits but I haven't had any probs with it for over a year now.
For me, installing from scratch is just running a single command (ansible-playbook). Nice and repeatable. 🙂 So to get a full node and lightning node, it's just two commands.
Of course setting up or restoring a wallet, opening channels, and all that is not part of the automation.
Personally, I like the ability to choose specific software and mix 'n' match, but I can certainly see why people would want these node-in-a-box type solutions.
That sounds nice yeah.. esp if it can handle upgrades..
