If you need to do any local development or testing with Bitcoin/Lightning, Polar is incredible!

You just need docker and it quickly starts networks for multiple instances of full nodes (ie. bitcoind) and lightning nodes (ie. lnd, cln, eclair) and you can easily configure channels etc, and test your app with it. Great for hacking on lnd, or when I was developing LNBits plugin.
