The most user-friendly are Start9 and Umbrel in my experience, though I have had great results with Raspiblitz as well. Some reading for Start9 if you have any laptop or computer that has an X86_64 CPU (overwhelming majority of machines on the market today are):\nhttps://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/diy/diy-x86\n\nThe comprehensive guide for getting started on Umbrel is here, and includes many links depending on your use case (including a section specifically for merchants):\n https://community.umbrel.com/t/getting-started-with-your-umbrel/3555\n\nIncludes a link to how to set up Umbrel on your own machine: \nhttps://blog.thecryptogarage.com/umbrel-linux-ubuntu-node-build/\n\n\nApproach #2) Run your own BTCPay Server instance\n    The decision process on setting up a BTCPay Server is a little more convoluted than running your own node directly, but once the setup is complete I find BTCPay Server is a little more straightforward for merchants and eCommerce solutions specifically. Their documentation is very thorough but also can take some time to wade through. I would suggest starting here if going the BTCPay Server route:\nhttps://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/\n\nOnce set up, any of the above solutions should be able to handle payments from Strike without issue, and you'll be fully in control of the sats received."}
