Looking to run my own node. Any suggestions?
Discussion
I think the obvious ones would be
https://umbrel.com (what I’m using, extremely easy to setup)
And
Both can be run on a Raspberry Pi or pretty much any old computer you have lying around 👍
Much appreciated!
Got a solid pc lying around doing nothing but aging so i thought id help the network :)
Raspberry Pi will probably be end game solution later on
I just setup umbrel on raspberry pi 4 8g with m.2 internal 2gig drive in argon case. It was very easy and took less than 30 minutes from opening boxes to downloading. I’m a newb so no prior experience either. Running lightning node as well. Been up for a few weeks now and no problems
Also btc sessions on YouTube has a video on setup so if a newb like me I just followed that
If going down this route one thing that wasn’t obvious is the m.2 drive must be ssd not nvme. Argon case needs ssd. So in my example the drive is blue sticker the nvme has green sticker.
I have a spare behemoth gaming pc which used to be used for streaming. Just gonna use that :D… but i have a spare m.2 i could get a rasberrypi and itd be perfect
Awesome. That’s why I did it just to make it small and not use much power. I can also take it with me in travel easily
