I run umbrel. I need new hardware for it, did it on a pic but find umbrel slow and unreliable but want to rule out hardware first. Don’t like that they don’t have a back up.
Three years ago, I built an Umbrel node.
Last summer, I built a node from scratch.
Today, I finished my nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll node.
I don't like recommending technology to people without fully having used it myself. I often tell people to use Start9 even though I only never "used" it in any production sort of manner. I only installed the OS, poked around the settings and marketplace a bit, then stopped using it.
That changes today. I will be migrating my Umbrel node over to my Start9 node as soon as Bitcoin finishes syncing.

I also run Umbrel under Rasp Pi 4 with 8GB and it goes smooth like silk. No problems whatsoever on anything: hardware and installation setup, software installation, running apps, etc... ZERO issues.
This switch from one OS to another one is pretty normal in techies personalities (me included). I am resisting myself to do the swap but i still havent found a solid thread to do so. There are always trade-offs in each direction.
Good to know. I think I just need to do a hardware refresh
