eth-docker VS ethereum-staking-guides

You just can set r.before to the deployment block of the deposit contract if you like. That differs by chain. Some values here: https://github.com/eth-educators/eth-docker/blob/main/erigon/docker-entrypoint.sh

You can check the script at https://github.com/eth-educators/eth-docker/blob/main/vc-utils/keymanager.sh for reference, and adjust to your environment. It interacts with key manager api, including for setting, querying and deleting fee recipient.

Nethermind has the two flags --Sync.AncientBodiesBarrier and --Sync.AncientReceiptsBarrier. By default, they are set to 11052984 as you can see here. The downloaded chain is smaller with the barrier set this way, but some automated setups like eth-docker set these barriers to 1.

I'm using the amazing eth-docker project: https://github.com/eth-educators/eth-docker

Intel NUC, at least 2TB SSD, 16GB RAM - Install DAppNode or use eth-docker / eth-wizard

A lot of people are configuring manually their staking machine. But I find much easier to use docker version like eth-docker (https://github.com/eth-educators/eth-docker). So a lot of love for yorickdowne for his github and all he is doing in the ethstaker discord and elsewhere. I have not seen if he has a gitcoin grant. I will definitely donate.

I'll point you at code for that. I'm kinda doing drive-by Reddit right now because busy with merge prep. Here's an example of how to enable the REST API on a Prysm CL, so other VCs such as Lighthouse or Teku could connect to it.

https://github.com/eth-educators/eth-docker is close to what you want.

My guides (https://github.com/SomerEsat/ethereum-staking-guides) are very detailed but require more effort/technical knowledge. However if you like learning and having mastery of your environment, it could be a good (and fun!) option, too. You can start with a testnet if you want to practice without risk.

Not a talk on stage, but I did get to meet and chat quite a bit with Eridian, who has been developing the EthStaker Knowledge Base. Sounds like the goal isn't to be an installation guide like CoinCashew's or Somer Esat's, but instead a platform- and client-agnostic resource that should be useful for all stakers. Lots of FAQs, supplemental guides (e.g. resyncing geth and setting up a home VPN), and explanations of various staking concepts.
