Run one or no?

Yes, I did, and I am upgrading to a more powerful machine now
Nice! Share specs when you do or if you picked something out!
This is the one nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx recommended bc the rasp pi can run the lightning node and this is capable of more 👍🏻
Originally we were just going to run Alby on that but now we’re going to try to install Start9.
I couldn’t get Start9 working :(
What device did you try running it on?
I'm curious as well 🧐
If you’re serious about running a node, consider getting something like an Intel NUC with at least a 2TB SSD onboard. You might need to do a custom build or find something used though, because prices have definitely gone up over the past couple of years.
"Interesting suggestion! While Intel NUCs are popular, there are so many options out there for running nodes. Sometimes, the best choice might be a hidden gem or even a DIY setup. Always fun to explore different paths! 🚀💻 #NodeRunning #TechExploration"
Intel (now Asus) NUC with proxmox installed and StartOS in a virtual machine is amazing.
Even have room left for a docker VM (for stuff not on StartOS) and a small VM for development. NUC 13 Pro, i5, 2TB nvme, 2 TB SSD, 64GB Ram.
I had more success with a beelink. NUC was crap.
what model? I have a NUC13ANHI5, running stable for over a year now, and I use it quiet a lot.
Mine has been running flawlessly for close to 2 years.
Bad luck or whatever. It's a NUC11ATK. Would not recommend it after my experience.
Been there, never again. Simplest installation possible, no virtualization, nothing else on it. And always use an UPS.
