You don't need a full blown dedicated raspberry Pi node to "run a node".
Just install Bitcoin core in your desktop computer.
Then in your hardware wallet software, go to the settings and select your local PC as the node.
Give it a shot!

No need because I know your nerd ass already runs a node.
As a member of the pcmasterrace I never thought I'd see the phrase, "full blown raspberry pi" 🤣😂🤣😂
xD I'm a huge RPi disrespector too but it's what the newbs see everywhere
gonna give this a try
I’m running a node on Umbrel on Ubuntu but I’ll be damned if I can link any of my wallets to the node wallet to confirm my own mainnet transactions (or send Sats to the Lightning node BTC or Lightning wallet using the companion apps in Umbrel). I keep getting an error that I can’t pay invoices generated by the wallet addresses on the Lightning node because the invoices are “created on a custom Lightning node that doesn’t include RouteHints in the invoice”. Tried so far with Muun, Wallet of Satoshi, and BlueWallet (that I heard is now defunct?) since my last attempts. Umbrel seems pretty clunky for Lightning implementation at the moment.
Do I have to have channels open and funded to simply send Sats to my node’s Lightning address from an external wallet? Thx
Bhahahaha
You are probably not supporting the network if you're running a pi node (only).
If you want to support the Bitcoin network - you have to run a full archival node as mentioned below 👇.
best practices of accessing Tor in umbrel which runs on raspberry pi? dude lives inside the great firewall.
haha.. but just in case, some linux nerds aren't running a node yet, here is the link to snap package:

PS: Dont scold me for giving a snap package please. i know it sucks :(
PPS: The url https://bitcoin.org/en/download shows non-snap binaries for linux as well, so enjoy!
I set my node up on a 10 year old desktop with 4gb RAM. I installed Umbrel on debian. Working great so far with Bitcoin core + electrum, Nostr relay, and Syncthing.
Linux instructions are spot on 😂
Exactly
Sorry, too much power consumption, I’ll go back to Pi 😅
is there a tutorial on how to use various functions of a node-how to verify own transactions, supply & so on??
