Why did I pay Β£399 for an umbrel box and Β£50 import tax πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ€¨

what is not working?

It "works" just fine.

However I cannot do anything more than what theyve allowed me to do(very basic functionality for each app) and that fucking sucks

Can't add CLN plugins, can't add whitelists to nostr relay app, config files for bitcoin node app reset after an update etc etc

It is not what you want when self hosting at all....

Sure you can... You just don't know how. It's Linux. You can do whatever you want.

Well obviously you’re not a target user this is for.. I run it on my own hardware (only bitcoin related apps, my other stuff runs on docker or other machines). I like the set and forget feel of it.. one less thing to worry about.. and yes it looks nice but don’t really care about that

Running on your own hardware is fine because you have the option to switch, this box I bought has no display output so it's fucking useless :)

You did overpay though. You could have just bought an old think center mini and gotten better performance for a third of the price.

and you will be happy

Bookmarked and will come back to this when I buy my own hardware, hopefully soonπŸ™ŒπŸ»

you must be living in portugal

portugal is up there with the UK for disgusting predation of imports... though the whole EU seems to have got in on the game, i hear ireland is also super nasty even when it's your own stuff sending it to your own family

Yes the import tax was the cherry on top but the initial point of the post is umbrel is a scamπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

well, i'm pretty sure you could have tested it on a VM or something, or is it not open source???

It is open source

It's worth it though, they have the best UX and shiny features.

but you should apply for a job as a glowie, it's such a good job, you get to rat out your friends!

I already have this one but we here at NSA are more of the office geek type. We don't do undercover ops.

What you want is more up nostr:npub1xu8wd7kh28zw2gt5yjyk3y400gkdnvx0gvdg6vvy7ph5f24n336q8dspv8 's alley

that's correct.

So cringe πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Didn't have a pleasant experience. I recommend Parmanode.

You stopped me right quick! What's wrong with it?

It will be "good" in terms of UX at the start but then as you want to do more and more with your nodes and hardware in general the software will start to limit you.

The original post was made regarding the umbrel home box(hardware) as opposed to the software itself.

If you want to start running a node I would say get some hardware yourself for half the price of umbrel home and it will end up high spec anyway, then install umbrel and go from there :)

Although I would recommend nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll over umbrelOS anyway
