New node up and working!

Not way back I posted on right here that I lastly run my very own node on Home windows 10. There was a whole lot of feedback suggesting Linux and umbrel.

After just a few hours of analysis, right here's what I did in case any person desires to do the identical.

1. Received a used mini PC from eBay for £70

2. Flashed ubuntu server 22.04.2 LTD onto us keep on with Belena Etcher

3. Put in ubuntu os on my new used mini laptop (couldn't be easier and I by no means touched Linux earlier than)

4. Downloaded and put in umbrel from terminal (command to this on umbrel's web site)

5. Synchronised blockchain inside 24 hours (it was a lot faster than synching on home windows)

6. Opened 8333 port on my router to simply accept incoming connections to my node

7. Edited bitcoin config file to simply accept max 30 connections at a time and add 5gb a day

8. Restarted the node and it's now been up for two hours!

The overall time spent on making this occur is roughly 3 hours with no prior Linux information (minus the chain obtain).

I'm loving the actual fact I can troubleshoot my bone server via ssh from the laptop computer and see what's up with the node both from there or umbrel.native even on my telephone.

Subsequent undertaking: simply purchased Antminer S9 from eBay. So joyful! :).
