>offline computer as server seems better.

You asked about a LN node.
Seems that you don't understand. A LN node MUST be online to be able to use it. Is not like a cold storage.
Please read the guides.

A phone is good, especially mutiny, but I don't want to carry around thousands with me. Which is why the offline computer as server seems better.
