The question wasn’t directed toward me, but here goes.
I started with Umbrel and still use them for “metube, pi hole, nostr relay, syncthing…. Of course bitcoin Knots and Datum.”
My umbrel on Pi 4 crashed so many times that I didn’t want that to keep affecting my lightning node. When I am not running a lightning node it seems that Umbrel is super solid. (Granted I did not run umbrel on a mini pc.)
Start 9 on the other hand has:
~https so you can connect to it securely from anywhere. ~The documentation is easy to follow and makes sense once you dig into what is actually going on.
~You can see the logs on each service to diagnose problems. (Umbrel has implemented this also now.)
~There is a setting to add or delete connections over ssh and or connect to different computers.
~They have root certificate authority so you can add specific computers and or devices to connect to your node. If the device doesn’t have the rca then it can’t connect to your node. (Security matters!)
~To backup the apps on the node is super easy to do.
and much much more that I can’t think of right now. In my opinion it is the perfect option for serious lightning nodes.
That isn’t to take away from Umbrel because I do run knots and datum on umbrel.
I use Umbrel a lot. I will also use Umbrel exclusively to solo mine on Ocean with Knots and Datum when I pick up a Avalon nano 3s.
I just think that nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll has thought of everything and is the best right now.
