 Users have for sure the option to run it independently and without sharing data. For example you can easily run it without Alby account and also use the lightning address with limited permissions. 
You can also configure your own relay, or block explorer. 
We might not have a good overview and guide for that and people might need to find it from the github readme 😉  
 I might do it and make a mini tutorial, you never know 😂🤣 
 would be awesome. Let me know when you have questions and feedback. 
The configuration should be pretty straight forward actually. 
 I figured out all of the config, I just hate the Esplora and how messy that thing is. Nip57 in the zapper should be not too hard too, just would want to simplify it a little (a lot) and use SQLite instead of PGSql (even if I have it already in a clustered configuration). Want to probably make address server completely serverless so I don’t have to host yet one more thing myself 🫡 
 Esplora is a dependency of LDK. I think in the future bitcoin core will also be an option directly. 

Regarding the DB: I think best is to use an ORM that abstracts it away and gives again options on how to run it. The queries should be simple and compatible. 
 Agree, drizzle is good for that. I am also aware about LDK needing esplora at this time, I’ll see if I can make a docker with the minimum possible dependencies and smallest possible footprint, but we’ll still need about 1TB of storage for the full set (bitcoincore + esplora lite)🫡
