I don’t understand why @Start9 requires you to use up 128GB of space as a minimum for its #StartOS. I’ve got @Alby & Nostr Relay installed and running and only using 1.2% of disk space (1.43GB). When you only have 256GB in your host, Mac Mini, that’s insane.

If so, the documentation should be updated as it says… “Minimum requirement is 128GB”

The BTC blockchain is over 600GB alone. Depends on what you’re using it for. 🤷‍♂️

I get that, but I’m running BTC core server natively in macOS, only installed StartOS via UTM as VM to setup Alby Hub. So 128GB is a waste after the fact. Knowing now it’s only a “recommendation” rather than a requirement as the documentation says, I would have only set it up as 32GB and saved a bunch.
