Three years ago, I built an Umbrel node.

Last summer, I built a node from scratch.

Today, I finished my nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll node.

I don't like recommending technology to people without fully having used it myself. I often tell people to use Start9 even though I only never "used" it in any production sort of manner. I only installed the OS, poked around the settings and marketplace a bit, then stopped using it.

That changes today. I will be migrating my Umbrel node over to my Start9 node as soon as Bitcoin finishes syncing.

I was never able to get Tailscale to work with start9… loved the OS but need to be able to connect with TS. The company says on their website they are working on an equivalent of TS… anyo e else get this to work?

Tailscale is literally connecting your LAN to your Google account then giving full access to a random company. That's why it's not in Start9.

Just use Wireguard.

Not everyone is capable of using Wireguard 😉

It's not overly hard to do. I use Wireguard with a VPS.

There's plenty on how to setup Wireguard in a generic sense.

Setting it up specifically for the purpose of remoting into your LAN without Tor isn't any different, you just do it on your node box instead of a VPS.

I'm honestly surprised Start9 doesn't have a Dockerised Wireguard package already. Because it's super easy, I've setup Wireguard from scratch multiple times.

I will most likely be installing Tailscale manually.
