pull down to refresh

Yeah I wonder if we should restart the node every week.

I used to do it once a month but I still get the random freeze like you do

Very common for sysadmins to "bounce" stuff at like 3am when useage is low. If Start9 doesn't have a GUI for this it'd be a good feature request.

It feels like the team hasn’t shipped anything in ages.

Last I knew they were working to bring a router to market and solve this clearnet/tor issue. That was a long time ago.

(Which I think making tor the default was one of the biggest blunders of ln hobby node era)

I like start9 but it appears Umbrel is doing much cooler things and so far that node is much more stable.

I was on a packaging call a few weeks ago to see what was involved in updating the Pub docker for the next version... seems their next release is pretty close... v35 to v4x

Matt said 35 can be considered deprecated, but the v40 is alpha... and they didn't have LND bundled yet for it which precluded me doing much since Pub depends on it. No v40 docs yet nor is it clear what the scope of the changes are or achieve.

He used Sonnet to update our package which seemed to mostly be around storage volumes based, he instructed Sonnet to base it on other packages they already updated.

I'm probably not going to revisit the packaging for awhile, will update the sideloadable package for v35 when we finish the wizard. Hopefully by then v40 will be better documented.

I always hated that they were Tor by default and so invested in it, terrible solution. A VPN or Wireguard configuration option would be the obvious alternative for people concerned with clearnet.

Pub on it does seem to punch out on clearnet to Nostr relays just fine though.

I agree. Umbrel's lack of https still bugs me, but my Umbrel node has been rock solid for years. I literally never need a restart.

Umbrel's lack of https

That's a CA thing, can't assign an SSL certificate to a local device without introducing some key-infra workarounds which is more complex than a local SSH tunnel to access the interface securely
