Decided to take a different approach today and run an umbrella on my home server for #noderunning 🤔
Have other #nodestrich used containerized approaches like this or are most of us still building from source and stitching the configs by hand?

lol #[1] not “umbrella”
A lot here use either Umbrel or Embassy OS. I used Umbrel at first, but now I’m running EmbassyOS
Umbrel is the most common setup by far. It works well especially since it's easy to install third party apps like ThunderHub, RTL, and Lightning Terminal on there too.
I've heard some criticisms of it, mainly that Umbrel isn't fully open source. Haven't looked deep into it though.
Been meaning to look into embassyOS it does look really cool but I don't know if I can easily swap a node from one to the other. Afaik there's no way to just restore a lightning node from a backup in an easy way, it's only designed for emergency scenarios like if your hardware dies so it often force closes channels etc.
