I have a umbrel. It used to be a routing node with many channels but after about 1.5 years of running with minimal issues it started to give me trouble just randomly becoming unresponsive. The only way to get it back was to power cycle it.

I been looking for a replacement for my pi 4 that is more powerful, stable, and trusted to handle routing. I Looked into apple mini, intel nuc, and system 76 meekrat (which I was going to purchase). Even looked at eBay. But after getting the hardware I have to do all the software installation on my own.

But now with this I can just plug and play and continue my umbrel experience. Could I get more with less and spend time setting things up. Sure I can. This pi 4 that is running umbrel now started out as a raspiblitz which I ditched due to the project being too buggy at the time.
