I've got an old ass i5 2500k (3.30ghz) with 8gb DDR3 running win7pro sp1. I'm sure I can scrounge up a spare 1TB ssd.
Is this sufficient to run both a Bitcoin and LN node on the same machine? Do I need to separate the LN node in any way? (ie seperate partition or VM)
Also... any way to leverage a NAS that's currently in-use as active backup? Would I be potentially putting personal data saved in the NAS at risk? What if I added a VM to the NAS?
Lots of questions... pls halp!
You can probably install a Ubuntu and run a node no problem. Umbrel is pretty easy to run.
Please Login to reply.
Can I run on windows? Or is it not recommended? (Is it a software compatibility issue?)
I'm assuming my two main choices are Umbrel and MyNode
No it only runs on Linux
Or maybe you can run a Linux vm on windows.
