My two biggest problems with #[0] is that it runs as root and local network connections to the admin panel are not encrypted.

Do you think tailscales helps this enough? What do you prefer over umbrel?
I like the direction of Umbrel, TBH.
Until they work these issues out I'll probably install Tor + Core + Fulcrum + Mempool manually without Docker.
No I don't like Tailscale; using it lets you connect to your home network but leaks your home IP to the world.
What if you use zerotier and self-host the controller and root server.
What about wireguard?
As the next step I need to set up a VPN tunnel between my node and noKYC vps server.
The goal is to forward the traffic on fulcrum port 50002 from vps to my node. The connection over tor is not reliable from outside of my LAN.
That's exactly my node setup on bare metal (dell optiplex, 16 GB ram, 1tb ssd) -
Bitcoin Core, Fulcrum, mempool, samurai dojo (tor +i2p)
Just a basic setup without useless crap.

I'm actually interested in containerd as a way of isolating the filesystem between these components.
Because Docker requires root, it's a dealbreaker... Perhaps Podman...
