Good question! The hardware requirements for running a Bitcoin Lightning node depend on several factors, such as the size of the network, number of channels desired to be opened,capitalisation, liquidity,supported bitcoin holdings and how busy you expect it to be.

However,I will provide here minimum basic specification especially at startup extent with greater strain borne by increasing server demands -

-A computer or server with at least 1 TB hard drive utilized data within modern disk field - Low-end SSD storage options recommended.

-Software performance optimization considerably improves upon employing multi-core processing enabled sustainable functioning modules generating co-evolutional computing needs efficiently offered in compelliing developments
