I am super stoked I got circular plugin working on my nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg CLN. Also happy that I finally figured out how to get my VPN working in China so that it keeps the bitcoin connection working but not breaking lightning clearnet connections. Small battles but learning a lot.

which kind of node hardware are you using?
I use an Intel nuc10 i7 running Ubuntu server with a “future proofing” of 32gb of ram, 1tb ssd, and 4tb nvme connected to a UPS. I made the 1tb sdd raid1 with a lvm of the nvme to ensure some better resilience. The amount of ram and storage was overkill but I’m certain it will last the next 7+ years without concern.
raid setup is a total fail bro. no question.
never mix drives ESP if one is sata vs card. that lvm may pull the bandwidth to the lowest common denominator
since you cant mirror the card drive, your only suitable option is to run backups on the ssd instead, and use it as a cache
You’re right, but it’s not an issue for the task — I’d rather just have the resilience and small form factor. So far, performance is perfectly fine. Cheers!
wow that config is definitely killing🤙
