1288 sats \ 5 replies \ @Wumbo 16 Dec \ on: Setup suggestions for my personal lightning node lightning
Wumbo's personal advice:
  • Start with a full PC. Don't go the raspberry Pi route. You can find a used mini pc on amazon for $200. Which is faster than raspberry pi
  • Start9 OS is good option for the OS. Nothing wrong with umbrel but supports limited chip sets.
  • When in doubt open a few large channels vs many small channels.
  • When vetting who to open channel to, look at Average Age Channel and recent closed channels of nodes that you are thinking of connecting to. You want avg age to be large (they keep channels open for a while). For recent closed channels make sure there are not to many force closes. You can use amboss.space as a resource.

You referring to Apple? Curious if that's what you are talking about. I run both Umbrel and StartOS on 1 liter PCs.

I thought umbrel only supported Arm processor, however I can not find any links to back this up. Looks like it will work with x86 now.
Years ago I was trying to install umbrel on a x86 machine and several troulbeshooting hours later found a web link saying it is only ARM.

Yeah they have supported x86 for a while now. Over a year at least.
