I’m looking to upgrade my node/personal server setup. Have had umbrel via raspi for a while but it’s really run its course.

Looking into umbrel home and start 9. Pros/cons of each system and thoughts?

Wish list is self-hosting bitcoin and lighting node, nostr relay(s), password manager, and that’s really about it in terms of needs

Start9 over umbrel, pricing/performance, documentation, support are all better.

I wouldn’t host a lightning node without ecc/raid features, but that’s just my personal experience in IT talking, it’s not a hard requirement.

I also sell nodes that come with my time & I pitch #proxmox as the go to tool for self-hosting infrastructure, including non-bitcoin software. Nodes in bio.

I want a Start9 node too, but they are all sold out now, right?

I don’t see an inventory count but both seem to let me add to cart & continue to checkout, so I assume it’s in stock.
