 I run my node. What is the correct procedure then and what do you advise for solo mining which lets be honest Bitaxe is most suitable for?

 That's not solo mining 
 how would you call it? 
 Semi Solo Mining ;) 
 TheSoloMiningCo from X:

"By definition, true solo mining would be your own node, your own hardware and your own method to solo mine to a server/pool you control, in this case, public-pool running on your computer. By definition, the word "solo" comes into play here - solo meaning "by oneself".

With Public-Pool.io, this is someone's own setup of their node and their own instance of public-pool running and we all connect to it out of convenience. On this, the chap who manages public-pool.io  is the only one truly solo mining here as "he is in control" and we are not truly solo mining as we are connecting to someone else's server / solo pool, thus eroding the "solo" aspect. 

Technically speaking, us connecting to solo-pool.io is no different than one running their own instance of public pool and connecting to it.

From a philosophical stand point, we aren't truly solo mining by doing this as we are connecting to something we are not in control of.

I feel your point is more of a philosophical one rather than a technical one." 
 yeah i get this all.
but where is the solution to run my #bitaxe
with real solo mining?
where is the information
is it so hard to answer a dump guy like me? 
 Sorry...I don't know how to set up my own mining pool yet. Learning. Till then https://web.public-pool.io is my solution. 
 Umbrel running on  small i5 pc with a 2tb SSD. It seems to have what is needed and is an open source solution. 
 I get it now. I also learned that it's not that easy to set up your own pool. I run a RoninDojo node..any tips how to learn how to make my own pool? 
 Is that because they are still using a pool? What about using Ocean? 
 Correct.

OCEAN is also not solo mining, though we plan to enable that soon 
 I’ll point hash at ocean after you enable lightning payouts. Wen? 
 Soon. You'll need BOLT 12 in your Lightning wallet and the ability to sign messages with your L1 address 
 I run a CLN node so should be ok? 👍 
 Not really happy with Braiins. They rolled out Beta for lightning payouts. Then when we applied for testing they said ‘you are not eligible’☹️ 
 Who needs lightning payouts anyway? Keep doing your thing and don't let them bring you down! 🌈 #StayNonconforming 
 On the Lightning side at least. 
 You are good to go with CLN.

CLN > LND

I'm looking for a CLN channel parther to try a dual funded channel with if you are interested. 
 I had some problems upgrading to the latest version and i had to roll back. I will restart with a clean install and setup postgres cluster first.
