I was away from home for four months, counting on tor and Zeus to keep my node going. It's good to be back!
Did everything work as expected? :)
reply
I only ran into one issue. One day the node was down. Being a tech expert, I walked my wife through a sophisticated solution. She unplugged it, waited a minute, then plugged it back in. Voila! I am brilliant.

Nice that everything worked after a restart! I am always afraid that I missed to configure some service to start after boot since it's annoying to test stuff like this.
What hardware is your node running on btw?
reply
The basic Pi4 setup. I'm planning on upgrading this summer. How about you? I'm looking for suggestions.

I started with a RPi3 but it was unstable (too many freezes). Then I ran a node on an old Thinkpad T420 but it also froze every 6-8 weeks. Then I switched to a Mini-PC (HP EliteDesk 800G1 USDT) and also configured Wireguard such that I can use a static public IP from my VPS for stable inbound connections. That was running smoothly for 3 months until my SSD broke, lol
Now I am waiting for the delivery of a new SSD since it died while it still had warranty. Thanks to @021da48107 for reminding me about the warranty here, haha

I have had my basic RPi4 with a 1TB SSD setup going since 11/21 without any issues. I am also running Wireguard. I really want something more robust, but I'm a strong believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I'm also thinking about heading the mini pc route, but I have a lot of older laptops laying around which I might play with also.
