Just another day - almost there at least!
✅ Mini PC + Start9
Still need to make some configurations and setup, but it’s smooth and stable now that I have it going properly.
Switching the Umbrel node on an RPi4 to the same mini PC model Start9 is running is next -
- What’s the consensus on running Umbrel on Debian vs Ubuntu? Are there any outright pros and cons to one or the other? #asknostr

What mini PC are you using now? Been looking to upgrade my RPI 4 but not sure what to use
Beelink S12 - I tried 2 different models of another brand but that one didn’t work.
Did some research and decided to try it off this list cause the price point was reasonable for the power - under the Beelink section:
OK cool will look into it! Ive been running mynode for years and have had no problems but Start9 has a lot more options and applications to play around with, which I'm sure a rpi 4 wouldn't be able to handle very well.
I’ve heard of mynode, but I started messing around with Start9 and Umbrel late last year/early this year - they’re definitely worth experimenting with, and certainly worth repurposing an RPi4 for something a bit more stable. Umbrel on my RPi4 kept crashing which sparked all of these OS questions and mini PC journey lol.
Hope you’re able to swap that RPi4!
Were you able to transfer all the data over from your umbrel to your start9 node?
Great question!
I ended up pretty much using Umbrel on the RPi4 to experiment to see how well it ran - once I decided to upgrade, I swapped to trying Start9, and I pretty much just started over on it since it’s a separate system from Umbrel. But I do plan on transferring what I can from it to the new proxmox/debian based system I plan on setting up for it.
