I've got a spare Raspberry Pi 3, and a 120GB SSD. What's the simplest way to start a Lightning node?

I know that 120GB isn't close to enough to store the full chain, but I understand that this isn't always completely necessary?

I have enough experience to get a Pi up and running as a personal Samba server and seedbox with help from tutorials. I have basic knowledge of navigating a unix terminal. That's about it.

Is there a relatively simple and quick, and - most importantly - secure, way to get a Lightning node up and running? I want to do my part to help, plus I hear I can stack a few sats on fess if I get lucky.

Thanks

(I'm expecting a lot of replies that begin with: "First, get a Pi 4 and a 500GB-1TB SSD")

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?
