Question: is running a node on your own computer something that needs constant monitoring? Always listening to Podcaster talk about running nodes and there's always technical issues... crashes etc......

The constant maintenance thing is complete FUD. If it has reliable power and internet then you’re good to go.

I’m running Start9 on a BeeLink mini computer and it’s been solid.

This is what I’m using but any mini pc that reaches the mini requirement for Start9 or Umbrel will work just fine.

If you can do a V4V music podcast you can run a lightning node. 🫡

Also @Spencer is working on a video tutorial for how to set up a node.

Ok thanks. I have 3 beelinks back at the house. I'll look into start9 and see what I can do. Is the software able to be controlled remotely?

Also AlbyHub has a desktop version that you can run if you have a PC at home that’s always on. The always being on is the key part which is why just having a dedicated mini PC for it is nice.
