Nooooice. Beats my specs but not my price! 😜 View quoted note →

That sound like a lovely starter kit 🤙

Compare Power consumption to raspberry pi 4 #[2]

@b0feb2b0: What specific device are you comparing the power consumption of the Raspberry Pi 4 to? It would be helpful to have more context to provide a more accurate comparison.

congrats lads!

Might recommend it, but only if you remove the ordinals browser lol

This is the big announcement?! You are terrible at advertising! 😆😆😆

Can I run raspiblitz on this machine ?

Can you plug in an external hard drive for more storage?

Yes, using the USB ports

Looks nice but at those prices I'd probably pick up a NUC or minisforum PC. View quoted note →

No soy un gran fan de tener multitud de aplicaciones de #Bitcoin con cosas que NO son de #Bitcoin, pero este paso de #[0] estaba cantando y en cierta forma me alegro que venga. Yo seguiría pensando que es mejor usar un equipo solo para #Bitcoin y otro para todo lo demás, aunque el precio no es que sea el como para planteárselo, ya dependerá de los recursos de cada quién y si a ese precio no merece más pena comprarse un mini pc y montárselo uno.

Average power consumption in watts?🙏 Lightning/bitcoin payment portal?🙏

Look Umbrel is great and I appreciate what they are doing. But, for half the price you can have double the storage and more performance. If installing an OS yourself is beyond your capability, a home server will do you no good. View quoted note →

No bitcoin payment for preorder?

It idles around 5W and bursts to about 15W. Strip our payment processor don’t support Bitcoin out of the box but we’re working on adding Bitcoin as a second payment method!

ty sur

you missed my pre announcement bangers View quoted note →

Can we expand the SSD setup?

Ah sadly we weren't able to set up Bitcoin payments with our current payment processor (Stripe) for the initial launch, but there will be a custom checkout experience for Bitcoin/LN payments down the line. We'll announce it as soon as it's available!

Looks like nice work. Congrats.

Looks great 🤙🏼

Gracias Umbrel! I want to set it up so we run more nodes in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Ordering one ⚡

I've been yearning for this, searching for a smooth entry into the BTC realm, but truth be told, it ain't as effortless as those developers claim it to be, my friends! 😂 Perhaps my intellect just operates on a whole different level.

Underwhelming announcement IMO. To be fair, you can buy a Mini PC with better specs than this for cheaper.

1) this is just the bitcoin machine with better hardware 2) you could build this easily for half the price 3) 2TB was sufficient for a bitcoin-only product, but not for a home server 4) adding more storage/RAID is an essential feature of home servers and the fact that this is not possible with this product means it will be forever inferior to other home server solutions i could see this as a gateway home server for people who value convenience, but i think they will quickly run into problems with 1) complexity of software setup and 2) storage size if someone is too lazy to assemble their own hardware, they will probably struggle with getting the software to do what they want it to do. For example, if i want to self-host my photos library, I probably want to be able to see those photos while away from home, but you can’t access your home server cloud while away from home unless you have a Tailscale VPN set up. Or if i have all my movies on an external drive and i want to be able to watch them on any TV in the house, so then I upload them to nextcloud thinking that is the same as my external drive but in the cloud, but then nextcloud is not optimized for large files or video playback, then i look for apps that are optimized for this function and find there are different torrent-based apps for each type of media [video, music, etc] and they are all somehow inter-related and have weird, scary names(?). And finally when i figure things out and migrated all my photos, videos, and other files, i realize that i’m already hitting 1.9TB of storage and i can’t add any new photos or apps?? i guess the market will be the ultimate judge about whether this is something that people want/value, but these are the reasons why i think this product will end up being unsuccessful

possible but not recommended as external drives were not built to run continuously (higher risk of failing) as is required for servers

Hey, I created a simple java client for interacting with mempool.space (or your own instance). It isn’t finished yet but it’s working for almost all of the endpoints at this point (a couple of lightning endpoints yet to be done). Use it however you please:

What’s the upgrade path for an existing RPi node with open channels? Will you be releasing a migration assistant?

Half a TB SSD won’t get you anywhere. I wouldn’t start a new node without a minimum of 2 TB onboard. For a home server I’d want at least 4 TB.

Yep, we're shipping an OS update next month that will feature a migration assistant to transfer all apps and data with click.

Nice! Will that work on any device running Umbrel, independent of hardware? I’m specing out a system now.

haha sorry had my head down pre-launch

That's why I linked a 4tb crucial drive... With the tiny tink center it still comes in at half the price, plus you can sell the 512gb and recoup even more costs. 4tb home server should be pretty good. That's what I run for my whole family and it just gets a weekly backup on my main desktop 14tb drive.

how much is it going to cost?

Do you have a discount coupon @Nathan Fretz ☂️ 😇 ☔ ?

Thanks! I very much appreciate your timely response.🙏😁💜😆💯‼️

Are you still going to support raspberry Pi, Umbrel with your software? Some of us are extremely happy with our current Umbrel set up on raspberry pi and do not want to change it.

Yes! Raspberry Pi and custom servers are still supported platforms for Umbrel.

Redundant storage? ECC memory support?

Congratulations on a great product. The only negative I feel is the price is too high especially for folks who have been running lovely Umbrel on a Pi for a few years. Won’t a Mac Mini be an attractive alternative?

Umbrel OS running a small group of BTC node related apps has been almost unusable via the Umbrel UI on PI4-8GB recently. Slow interactions from unresponsive proxies, all whilst CPU and mem usage is low. Is the proposed solution from @Umbrel to spend 1099 USD plus post and import taxes ? Raspi support likely to get worse or better? I can see @RaspbiBlitz have a umbrel migration helper.... 🤔 View quoted note →

Congrats on the new announcement. Hope it's a big success.

x86! What the?

ah, no it will just be for Umbrel Home

Is a version for 3rd-party hardware on the roadmap?
