I’ve been running Umbrel for over a year and it really is easy. Much better than running my own Bitcoin Core (still doing that as well), or managing Lightning node (used to run lnd and then c-lightning directly and gave up).
I couldn’t get Whirlpool working with Umbrel.
Also, Umbrel seems to be going after broader goals: run your way own cloud, rather than focusing on Bitcoin so I expect the Bitcoin experience will suffer.
Umbrel way to add shit load of apps, I think is wrong... In special for a RPi device. It will not work.
I run 3 nodes: 1 Umbrel (LND), 1 standard c-lightning and a mobile with Blixt (LND).
Umbrel as "personal server" is good idea, but putting all together in a shity RPi is really bad idea.
My umbrel is not a RPi, is a barebone with standard Debian OS, where yes I could add all those non-node apps, but I do not want to mix a LN node with other apps. It will mess things badly.
As a personal server I have various, including a Qnap NAS, with many useful apps.
Yes, I self hosted all I need (domain, email, file server, video/movies, fotos).

I feel the same way. My setup is an Umbrel with apps related to liquidity management only (Ride the Lightning, Thunderhub, etc.). I have a separate raspberry pi that hosts docker containers for things like Nextcloud, Wireguard, etc. A third pi is my Jellyfin media server. I hope to upgrade them all over time.

THIS IS THE WAY!
