RaspiBlitz is described as “an open-source project that allows you to run your own Bitcoin and Lightning Network node on a Raspberry Pi.” It supports operating a full Bitcoin node to verify the blockchain and transactions yourself, a Lightning node for fast, low-cost payments, and extra apps and services installable from the node.
Pre-built SD card images are available. The project states that all parts of RaspiBlitz are MIT licensed.
The first synchronisation of a full node is slow on small hardware and needs plenty of storage; check the project documentation for current requirements.
