trying to decide between an ODROID C4 or a Libre Renegade, since I can't find a Raspberry Pi 4 anywhere

which do you recommend for running #umbrel ?

Have you considered the Orange Pi 5?

Runs ubuntu and umbrel ontop.

Got one a month ago; works fine.

I did consider it, but it's way more expensive than these two and I don't think I need much more than these

or am I thinking wrong and these won't do for running a lightning node and Umbrel in general?

How about a mini PC?

considered it, but they are more expensive than these SBCs

if these can handle Umbrel, no need to spend more

(here I'm assuming Umbrel will run fine on both these SBCs)

My RPi4 craps out about every couple of weeks on Umbrel, requiring a restart. I've removed a ton of apps so we'll see if it can stay up and running (12 days and counting so far) but I'm not thrilled with my decision to go with an RPi4, if I'm being honest.

I wonder if it’s the raspberri or the umbrel. Mine craps out all the time.

I was directed to try and reduce the # of apps i had installed to see if it would help. So far, so good but it kinda lessens the overall Umbrel experience.

I'm gonna end up buying another mini PC eventually and replace this pile of shit RPi4 someday.

That’s what I’m going to end up doing too, and I think I’m going to try start9. I have a nice PC and I’m running Linux and windows on it and it’s just not that stable. Having a separate Linux matching o think would be better.

valuable input
