If you're running an umbrel, or start9, node you could install Public Pool. It'd allow you to run your own Bitcoin pool. That was you'd essentially be solo mining but could easily add miners, at your own pace.

If you did it this way you could then have others join your pool? This seems way too easy lol
You could. However, the only way I've been able to get my umbrel to be able to connected to clearnet is by using nginx proxy manager. It's not an issue if your connecting from within your network. The problem comes from trying to connect from outside of your network. Which, I believe, is by design.
okay that makes sense
