Umbrel on raspi is to unreliable.
Personally I would build your node on an old laptop or dell micro using the following guide.

I love this guide. Built a nodebox a few months ago on a dell Optiplex 9020 SFF. Learned a ton. I find the same performance issue with EmbassyOS on a raspi, I recently installed EOS on an optiplex 3050m and what a difference! Next step is EOS on a system76 meerkat. You can get the same specs as embassy pro for $500-$600 less. ⚡🤘
I might have purchase another dell to run embassyOS. How do you rate it?
I'm a big fan of EOS. The team is awesome. Great customer support. Their goal is sovereign computing, not just bitcoin/lightning so they have a lot of services on offer, and a lot more planned. The downside to EOS right now is services are only accessible on LAN or via Tor, but clearnet support is planned for this summer.
OK that is good to know, I think I will give it a go, thanks
