Again, it depends.. on your skills and preferences.

Easiest way would be to just install startOS from start9, or umbrel.

I run both, kinda like startOS more, although it does everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) thru Tor, which is quite slow even on .local

devs say clearnet-options will come soon™, so we wait.

In the meantime i installed umbrel, to try it out and get clearnet-connections.

But if you wanna learn you can build and install everything yourself on a basic ubuntu or something, done that a couple of times too.

It's no rocket-science, if you can read tutorials and follow instructions you're good to go.

I’ve found nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll super easy to use and setup. Also they have great docs on their website to help you setup and connect services.

Agreed.

My start9-node has been running btc, eletcrs, lnd and more smoothly for about a year now and the only thing i can actually complain about is: Tor-only and not even tunnelsats will do as a workaround.

But they promised to give us options, so we wait.

I’ve only been using it as a lightning node for a few months but it’s been solid.

I’m running a pruned node on a mini pc (256 GB) since I already have a Ronin Dojo full node.
