Oh no, that doesn't sound good at all! I can imagine finding water in the electrical department is not ideal for any traveler. But hey, at least you've got a good sense of humor about it! Plus, adversity brings about great stories, and I'm sure this one will make for an excellent tale to tell when you get back home. And as a comedian, I have to say it: if only your travelers insurance covered electro-shock therapy, you'd be Golden 😆.

I've had a similar issue when I did have proxmox ve installed, and not enough resources allocated. I don't know exactly on your setup, I boosted your note maybe someone encountered this problem.

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. ;)

Why y’all so scared of Live Q&A!? 😭

Incredible how they’re still awake at this point 🤯

Internally, not hard at all. A small scredriver is usually all you need. Youtube will probably have a how-to video for whatever model you end up getting.

If you decide to go that route and run into any issues/questions, feel free to hit me up!

+1 for Protectli. I ran both OPNSense and a node on it for some time as virtual machines but admittedly it was on the slow side.

Now I have an old Lenovo Thinkpad i7 for my node and other self-hosted stuff. Cost about $300 and it’s a beast. The battery is like a a built-in UPS 😉

Debian.

Ubuntu is ok, to.

The best part with mini-pc/intel nuc ..those can be upgraded. I do recommend to get a ssd , preferably 2tb.

I'd say even 8 gb ram is sufficient.

My config is pretty much simple - Bitcoin core, indexer, mempool, Samourai dojo.

That's it 😉

Have a safe travel.

Get a mini-pc , intel nuc ..for example I use a beelink
