The little raspberry pi 4 node with the external hard drive is still syncing the chain after a little over 2 weeks. It's wading through the middle of 2024 at a clip of about a month of chain data per day. Height 854027.

I was not successful with raspberry pi 4. After 2 months gave up. Umbrel migrated the data from pi and synced in a few days.
The pi died after two months or you gave up waiting?
Gave up waiting.. consider checking the node logs to make sure the sync is progressing. Btw, I tried with hdd (low investment) and not ssd.
Its still moving along; has about 10 months to go. This is a raspiblitz that I've temporarily configured with high dbcache, no indexing, and no tor/i2p peers while it's doing IDB. I think it probably goes another week and will be caught up.
Lightning on this for just a Bitcoin node?
Just bitcoin at the moment. maybe I should see if this lil guy can be a lightning node after it ayncs the chain.
