Umbrel are cooking something up about Nostr. I am assuming it will be a plug and play application on their OS.
"Exactly" what was missing to a platform like Umbrel to make even worse the LN nodes network: a bunch of noobs running LN nodes together with nostr relays, on a shity RPi.
What could go wrong, right? Oh yeah sure that, little shity RPi will be so strong that can handle all the traffic.

I repectfully disagree with your statement because we cannot assume that if someone is using Umbre, that it is on a raspberry pi!
With the surge in price of Raspberry Pi and limitation, I am looking into getting a mini computer and run several countainers with Umbrel running on each. You can easily have your BTC and LN node in one container, have a personal Nostr relay on a seperate container and have your Home Automation on a third one.
Umbrel just makes it easier to configure your containers.

That's OK. But most of the clueless users don't know how to do that.
You are the exception.

What could Umbrel possibly add that isn’t already available from existing clients or relays?
Related question: has Umbrel ever developed anything original?
reply
which other OS has the possibility to create your own relay with the ease of using an application?

Last time I heard about them on the topic, they were against the idea of having nostr and lightning hosted on the same server... I'm curious to know what will come out of this.

Better but not ideal.
