Frens, I need some hardware suggestions for a full node + lightning node...

We'll soon be flying home for two to three weeks and I intend of using the time to set up a full node when I have 4 stationary walls.. ^^

RaspPis are crazy expensive rn so that doesn't really make sense I believe. I do have an old Pi3 lying around but I think it's only the 1gig RAM model which will be insufficient from my understanding.

I intend on running Umbrel on it, rudimentary Linux skills already aquired but eager to learn more about it and intend on doing so until we're back home (installing ubuntu via VM on Mac rn and got myself some more literature -> suggestions welcome btw).

Will set it up behind an OPNsense FW (hardware recommendations welcome again, was thinking about a Protectli box?) which will be set up in the process as well.

I'm not a coder/developer but a doctor (albeit a pretty geeky one...). So no "self-built server in a 19" rack"-suggestions please... in the future, yes... for now, no. ;)
