How can I use bcoin with lightning? Is there any documentation

bcoin can be used as a full-node back end for LND (for example) but there isn't currently any explicit guide for this (would you like to add one to https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin-org.github.io ?)

a bcoin full node can almost drop-in replace btcd or bitcoind in most operational modes from the LND instructions: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md#available-backend-operating-modes

To use ZMQ like bitcoin core you may need to use th bzmq plugin for bcoin: https://github.com/bcoin-org/bzmq

Since https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin/pull/1067 was merged, you can also use bcoin as a neutrino server. I use this configuration for LND at home:

you can add neutrino.connect=143.244.175.41 to your lnd.conf to run off of my own bcoin server, for example
