nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct is turning into a hell of a self hosting platform, beyond Bitcoin and Lightning. The future of computing is self sovereign. I'm impressed.

Looks impressive, but Umbrel was nothing more than an impossible mess of docker-compose files with no rhyme or reason to the structure of the "OS." Isn't it just lipstick on Debian/Ubuntu? Or Have they changed that?

I found it extremely frustrating and limited, and God forbid anything goes wrong.

It is way easier to do the "raspibolt" type of thing and run everything bare metal. While the set up isn't a simple point and click, maintaining it and configuring it is way easier that way.

Easier for you and me to just build a node from scratch? Sure. Easier for dude on the street that wants to self host? Not so much. We have to think about others and for whom these products are intended.
