Nostr Web Client

Can someone suggest a good resource or two for someone who wants to setup their own Lighting Node in their house on linux or openbsd using open source software? Do I need the full blockchain? What software is good? Please I want to avoid software that is heavy on the installation and setup (e.g. no docker (easy but heavy) or ruby package nightmare crap). Thanks.

Sadly I think an Umbrel node is “easiest” but it’s not as feature rich unless you add a lightning node manager app. You do have to have the whole chain I believe which is the most time consuming part.

I'll not use Umbrel every again. their apps aren't up to date and they do this weird wrapper thing with the lightning cli

What wrapper thing? GitHub links?

IIRC, its not the original lncli, they wrapped it with their script of the same name and dropped access to some commands

Look to be the original to me, built from sources

Are you talking about the app script?
