I’ve tried Umbrel and MyNode. Preferred Umbrel. But, I do want to try out Start9’s toys sometime.
I’m using Umbrel at the moment. From what I’ve seen EmbassyOS is a good option too but I couldn’t get it running on the hardware I am using.
GNU/Linux
* Debian - Umbrel + LND or Core Lightning
* Ubuntu - Umbrel + LND or Core Lightning
* PureOS - Embassy start9 + Core Lightning

My Node, Start9 on Purism Mini, Samurai Dojo on a dedicated Thinkpad and starting to try Nix. MyNode and Start9 brilliant so far. Migrating from using Pi's to actual computers from good sources like purism, Sys76, starlabs and trying running Coreboot orsimilair rather than stock firmware. Taken ages to learn but getting better thanks to these great suppliers and coders.
Sounds like you’ve been through it and tired of pi performance
Yeah. Enjoyed them at first but we had some power problems here and the Pi's did not always recover. Running various mini computers like the Purism mini and for the firewall using a Protecli box makes things stable and fast. So much better. Planning on giving a bunch of Pi's to others just starting out.
When I get around to reorganizing my server hardware, was going to spin up an embassyOS VM
myNode is great for simplicity. But I also run a node on pure FreeBSD.
My favorite is sovereign-stack.org since I wrote it :)
Where does everyone go for technical support? I have a Nodl and myNode, both of which I'm having issues with. Mostly lightning stuff and related apps. 🙏
I use umbrel.
