umbrel VS RaspiBolt

I really thought this article was going to offer a solution, not just enumerate the problems. I'm already all too familiar with the problems.

I like what Umbrel[0] is doing. They're essentially expecting that just like computing was able to move from centralized mainframes to homes, servers are poised to make the same migration.

I think they really need to solve redundancy, though. If I'm to self-host anything important on a home server, I need to know I'll have some way to use it even if my home server fails, especially if I'm not at home when it happens.

I'd love to see some kind of system where I could partner up with other Umbrel users for backups/the ability to restore connectivity. If I knew that in an emergency, I could call my friend in town or my brother out of state and there was some procedure that would allow me to connect to an encrypted backup of what I'm needing, I would feel a lot better about taking responsibility for my own system.

I did my node via umbrel super easy to setup ;) https://umbrel.com

It's also not secure according to the repo here: https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/blob/master/SECURITY.md

For those interested in setting up a their own lightning node, check out Raspibolt, Umbrel, Plebnet .

There are a few raspberry pi solutions, including: - https://umbrel.com

I did it with the instructions/tutorial from https://umbrel.com/

Hope that helps. Otherwise I'm not sure how to adjust the QT/GUI version of Bitcoin Core, I used a guide on Raspberry Pi (Raspibolt).

As LND v0.13.3 is a critical security update of LND, it might be beneficial to merge PR #763 asap... (also the Electrs update #762 which contains significant changes, see Issues below)

I used this guide: https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

You could just install Muun on your phone for now until you're sorted. I recommend https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/ But I hear a simpler plug and play one is Umbrel.

Several users have reported issues when trying to update their Electrs. Before updating, you might find useful to read the following things: 1) A pull request by Electrs maintainer romanz to update some settings in the Electrs conf file (the chqnges can be seen here); 2) a discussion on the TG group between two users troubleshooting issues (starting at this post)

#762: Update docs for the latest electrs release (by romanz, Electrs creator & maintainer)

#760: swapped S1 Wireless LAN and S5 Boot placements in rasp-config steps of docs (by bradley-ray)
