Just to test waters, is there an interest for a long form write up on how to setup your own lightning network node without usage of Star9, Umbrel or any of the opinionated all-in-one setups? I can probably try to write one up during my spare time and for Eclair. If not, that’s great too, less work for me 🐶🐾🫡🫂

I have used these instructions before https://raspibolt.org
I would certainly test another set of instructions
Definitely! Start9 and Umbrel are great, but they feel a bit limited when it comes to configurability.
I would definitely be interested to learn more about setting up Eclair. I roughly followed the RaspiBolt guides (https://raspibolt.org) originally when I first tried CLN but then changed to Umbrel as it was just easier to get everything working when I didn’t really know how Lightning worked. My next node will be built without Umbrel or Start9..
I’d suggest just building it from components with your skill set 🐶🐾🫡
if it's software wise, we already have tutorials like raspibolt.org, minibolt.info...
if it's about opening/maintaining channels, liquidity then yes, would be interesting
