Show HN: Umbrel – A personal server OS for self-hosting

If you are reading this please take a look at start9. https://start9.com/
The major problem with Umbrel is that even though they package all in one-solutions. If something goes wrong you rely on umbrel for issues (against decentralization). You will rely on their updates for any problems.
start9 built an linux os group up. all services are individually packaged from source.
umbrel packages all dependencies together (via docker container) which could causes issues for maintenace.

The most popular implementation of a Bitcoin hardware node presently is Umbrel. There also remains a share of the market taken by The Embassy, MyNode, Raspiblitz and Nodl. Umbrel started as a simple Bitcoin and Lightning Node but has grown to match a bigger vision, one started by The Embassy.
