Feeling successful, just completed my full node setup and wanted to share.

This was a journey for me, I’m not native linux.

Vnc accessible headless macmini,

Using virtualbox loaded with ubuntu,

installed with umbrel, all on external ssd, easy move to new device.

Copied previous synced blockchain onto umbrel to avoid full resync.

Setup lightning, funded lightning in/out channels.

Setup btcpay server to accept onchain or lightning.

Linked btcpay to external web address with ssl certificate using nginx.

Running bisq on macos, managed to connect it to umbel core in the virtualbox.

Linked ios zeus wallet on to lightning node.

😅
