The other day I asked What is easiest way to start with Lightning as an end user?
Since I already had a RPi4 at home with 4TB of storage on it, and a 2 Gbps fiber connection, figured I would give this a try - https://gitlab.com/shrugal/umbrel-docker/
You will need to edit the
install.sh
and run.sh
to point to your external HD INSTALL_PATH=${INSTALL_PATH:-/yourExtHD/data}
, but other than that, things appear to be working fine. I'm currently syncing the blockchain.The reason I wanted to run this in Docker is that my RPi has a clean minimal install and already has a few containerized applications, and I wanted to maintain a clean environment without having to install a bunch of dependencies and leave a bunch of cruft on it. The good news is that I already have Wireguard and Tailscale running in my network, so I should be able to point my wallets and mobile wallets to this if/once I have it all up and running.
And if I find that I don't want to mess with this, being containerized, I just chuck it in the trash. (
docker rm Umbrel
)Passing it along for those that might want to try Umbrel, without committing to fully installing Umbrel.

and all the sudden.... Boom!
