I started my deep dive into Lightning Network so I will definitely have questions. I've used WoS already to at least play around with sending LN transactions as a hot wallet.
I just started looking at running a node. I watched a video on Umbrel and it seems pretty well set up. My question would be, would I be able to do some sort of custodial wallet for my friends and family that I want to help out? Like let them point to my server and they have some sort of channel on their phone wallet. In a way that they don't have access to my funds but they can use my node at no cost.

It's actually feasible! Umber comes with LND so you should be able to install LNDHub on your own. Your family members would have to install BlueWallet and you would have to guide them to set your node's IP in the settings. This way, they would be able to take advantage of your node's channels.

I probably missed a ton of Lightning related questions here. I hardly ever browse this thread. Feel free to reply in The Lightning Network FAQ. Also, once you have set up your node, I would like to open a channel to you Smiley
