By the time you get a raspi, power supply, case, external hdd, and sd card you're looking at over $200, at which point I'd say just get a refurbished Dell Optiplex. They're much more reliable and higher performance than a Pi and if something breaks its modular and you can replace individual components, unlike a Pi. The same Docker container for RasPi will run in Ubuntu on an Intel Dell Optiplex, too.
nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t We are starting to invest in the equipment to run a node. Today we look at the Umbrel. We are wondering what other equipment/ software we will need in addition to the Umbrel. So far we understand we need:
•UPC
•SD Card Reader
• Raspberry Pi? Anything else for noobs with no idea but prepared to learn?
