Fringe issues. This things shouldn't really matter. Like not listening to a musician because of their clothes.

While Citadel may have rewritten most of Umbrel's code to be FOSS, they also try to market their product on Umbrel's weaknesses instead of Citadel's strength. It's kind of cringe. When Aaron left Umbrel last year to build Citadel, all he did was complain and throw fits. He's a very skilled coder, but being 14 shows.

Well not necessary but it sures increase attack surface so it's a wise decision. On my raspiblitz I'm experimenting and put very small funds at risk. Synology is very good !

Keep your node doing just ... "BTC/LN node thing".
All the rest of apps can just run on a NAS or any other PC as server.
Look into Qnap or Synology NAS and you have all those apps in one box and also you can install more if you like. Your own server, even an email server.

A node must do what nodes do, don't mix it.

Is citadel oriented Bitcoin/lightning or is there any other app like Umbrel ? (for example Nextcloud)
