i plan to do it with https://umbrel.com

I launched Core Lightning for my Zeus wallet and Lightning Node for Blue Wallet, but still a novice and don’t know how to open a channel or find/create a lightning address. It would be great if someone could post 1) how to open a lightning channel from Zeus/Blue Wallet assuming you are connected to your own node AND 2) How to find/create a lighting address to load into ones profile.
docker-compose.yml
Core i5 and mobo from 2016 2TB m.2 SSD 16gb ram
i don't think it's rpis and umbrel since default over there is lnd if i'm not mistaken, i would say it's x86 pc+some linux distro, i had some old ryzen pc laying around, added 2tb ssd and used this guide to setup everything (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5366854.0)
Umbrel works ok
Linux
Hmm seems like docker is pretty popular.
I have a plan to run a lightning routing node from my Samsung Galaxy S10+ running Termux. I have Bitcoin Core up and running, next will decide on a lightning implementation. Any thoughts? Is it ok to run lightning from a pruned Bitcoin Core node? Thanks.
It’s kind of finicky. You have to sync bitcoind and your LN at the same time otherwise you will prune blocks that your LN node will need to check.
I’m using Embassy with pretty good results. And I’m an illiterate noob.
