Lightning Node setup

[groag]

Hello,

I am a newcomer running a Lightning Node and I am about to open a channel but before this, I noticed that my node's status in Lightning Terminal is "Offline" (Node is unconnectable).

The node is hosted in Umbrel. I am wondering if this is an issue because no channel is open or if this is due to Umbrel and some network limitations.

Aside this, there are currently 4 peers connected to the channel.

Any experience shared will be much appreciated.

Thank you.
