Umbrel or ANY of those bundle software machines are NOT a good way to run your "home server" or even Bitcoin nodes.
WHY?
- Because is not good to concentrate all your "server" stuff in one place.
- those little machines, no matter how "powerful" look like, will still not be enough to run specific servers tasks.
- mixing all kind servers tasks, that require specific levels of security, you are just making it worse.
Separate machines, with separate tasks. If you really want a single or two machines, then use VM implementations, but even then you still have to group specific servers tasks/apps by level of importance.
Running a bitcoin/LN node on such "home server" is totally NOT indicated. A BTC/LN node must stay out of any other non-bitcoin related app/task.
