Questions for #Nostr in regard to setting up a node.

I have an old MacBook that doesn’t get used too often, so I’ve ordered a 2TB external SSD and I plan on downloading everything necessary tomorrow.

1. Does my MacBook need to be connected to the internet via Ethernet? Or is wifi fine? It doesn’t have an Ethernet plug so I’d need to find a work around for this.

2. When downloading bitcoin core, do the application AND files need to be stored on the SSD? Or just the files/network data

3. If I store all the data + applications on the SSD, does that mean I can (in the future, if the laptop quits on me) just plug the SSD into a raspberry pi, micro desktop, etc. and instantly configure it as a node?

4. What program do I need in order to run an electrum server to host my wallet and friends wallets? And would that be saved on the laptop itself or SSD?
