I don’t understand why nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll requires you to use up 128GB of space as a minimum for its #StartOS.

I’ve got nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm & Nostr Relay installed and running and only using 1.2% of disk space (1.43GB).

When you only have 256GB in your host, Mac Mini, that’s insane.

The BTC blockchain is over 600GB alone. Depends on what you’re using it for. 🤷‍♂️

I get that, but I’m running BTC core server natively in macOS, only installed StartOS via UTM as VM to setup Alby Hub.

So 128GB is a waste after the fact.

Knowing now it’s only a “recommendation” rather than a requirement as the documentation says, I would have only set it up as 32GB and saved a bunch.
