Can we get a #nodestr going?
My bad boy:
Raspberry Pi 4
4gb RAM
1TB SSD
Passive cooling case
Running on Umbrel nearly 3 years.
It ain't much, but it's an honest work!

How much was it, how much does it cost to run a month, and do you have a video to share to help others get one up and going?
I got all the hardware for around 150€. I don't know now, but last couple of years there was nowhere to get raspberry pi-s and the price had gone up.
@BTCsessions has made many videos about setting up a node. Like this one here: https://youtu.be/fppmhqjqh2E
You can check his youtube channel for more tutorials etc.
Aa, and it takes very little electricity to run.
Hello laser eyed node 👋
What am I looking at here? I want to run a Nostr relay, is that what this is?
No. It's a #Bitcoin and #Lightning node.
The setup I'm usimg is running on Umbrel, which has nostr relay as an app in appstore. Haven't tried yet. One thing to note is that Umbrel runs over tor, so you would need to use yor to connect to your relay then. I know that slme people are using it to store their notes in case some relays go dark.
