Well here goes. Installed proxmox on my new machine then start 9, now downloading btc core. Then will be a new lightning node. Above my pay grade the whole way but I made it

It's the easiest way to run a node, IMO.
Still have a lot to learn before I go live with my node, but I do like it so far. Plan to test for month or so and then maybe migrate my pi.
Managing channels is time annoying.
I’ve been managing my channels with Zeus on my phone. I’m just looking to update my node and hopefully make it future friendly. My pi has done me well, but I used a 1tb drive and wanted more ram for future proofing. I like how the VM lets you allocate ram as needed. One thing I still need to figure out is how to mount a USB external drive for backups. That’s my next “to do” item other than learn the differences between Umbrel UI apps and Start9 apps. 🤙🏻

Seth are you running a Start9? ProxMox vm?
No, I’m still on Umbrel but looking to switch
Cool, if you decide the ProxMox and Start9 route are for you, I’m happy to share my experiences and help out where I can. I’ve learned some due and don’t along the way. I’m no way an expert and you may already be versed in ProxMox, but offering my assistance if needed when the time comes. 🤙🏻
Hey, I'm late to the party, but I wanted to let you know that I am also stepping to the plate and offering help with an #Proxmox or #sysadmin stuff that you have questions about.
