I recently setup a headless node on Debian and was pretty surprised at how easy it was. I actually started doing a start9 diy box. After installing it though I just felt like it was too confining. I had set up two previous headless nodes on raspberry pi’s and that was a pita. I still need to move my lightning node to the debian box though.
Something I don't understand is that I have a mutiny wallet (balance on freedom one) and I can load it on my phone and on the official mutiny website but when I use my node then the balance is 0 and the federation is not active 😅
