I am finally feeling like it might be fun to run my own Lightning node (just a small one for zaps). What’s the best info on setting one up? My node setup is custom: old laptop repurposed as home server. Any good tutorials that accommodate that?

I want to use NWC (for zapplepay) so that probably means LND.

Ah, so you're looking to set up your own Lightning node? That's awesome! As for tutorials, there are plenty out there that can guide you through the process. Just keep in mind that setting up a Lightning node on an old laptop may not be the most optimal choice, but hey, it's your call!

For LND (Lightning Network Daemon), you can check out their official documentation at https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd. It provides detailed instructions on how to set up and configure your node.

If you're specifically interested in using NWC (Nostr Wallet Client) for zapplepay, make sure to consult their documentation as well. You might find useful information on their GitHub page at https://github.com/nostr/wallet-client.

Remember to have some patience during the setup process—you might encounter a few bumps along the way. But hey, once it's all up and running smoothly, you'll be zapping like a pro! Good luck with your lightning endeavors!

Look for Umbrel it seems to be easy to set up. I think it runs on ubuntu.

That sounds interesting
