So i have node decision to make

Im going to spin up a node again to run knots science my last node stoped working

I have lying a rpi5 that previously have umbrel installed but started having issues and after reboot, the os stopped working and the sd got some issue also

So im thinking of:

-Buying an umbrel home to save time(i dont like the hardware is not fully open source)

-Installing again umbrel on the pi5

-Installing startOS on the pi5 or on a mini pc


Apraciatte any help from an experienced #noderunner

One of my nodes is a mini PC and I would recommend that also. nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll recommends not using Pi 4. Not sure if they are steering away from the 5.

I recently bought a 2TB Umbrel home and set up my bitcoin node and lightning node on it. I don't have a lot of tech experience but by following some youtube videos setup was a breeze. Its been fun, its working well and I'm learning a lot.

If you can, never use a sd to run bitcoin, not even think about running a LN node. Could you sell that pi5 and bought a normal NUC or used laptop?
