I've been disappointed with my Start9. Thank God I didn't spring for the Pure. Running knots and the filter thing just fine, but I'd wanted it to be our home server with its 4TB SSD. Other apps unusable for me. Actually considering going back to umbrel. 🤷🏼

Yeah it's not exactly a Home Server just yet. It runs apps that are custom packaged for it, but that's it. It can run a Bitcoin Lightning stack, but so can I, with less overhead. So I'm just going to decommission mine.

Why not both? I'm sticking with Start9 for Bitcoin stuff because of their Open Sourceness. But umbrel is ok for things lower on the risk gradient.

This has been my practice, but the umbrel is still on an rpi with only 2TB. Don't want to buy another machine so might make the switch.
