I purchased an Embassy & Embassy Pro a few months back. Still not using as intended due to time constraints on my part but they are part of a larger business & person privacy & self sovereignty goal that I expect to complete in the next year. I’ve had a couple of email exchanges with Matt himself & posts on their user blog page. It’s a good, reputable company & professional team with an innovative & common sense solution to sovereignty & privacy concerned people everywhere. I respect & value what that have brought to the digital currency, privacy & self sovereignty community. I’ll continue being a supporter as long as they remain loyal to their mission! I’m just sayin..
I think this is an important explanation. I have two Embassies and like them very much, but occasionally I'm tempted by all the services Umbrel and others offer. I appreciate your commitment to security and I'm willing to wait for services. Thanks for making rad products!!
Matt's description of how Umbrel works is excellent. I have never, and I mean that, never had some software break on me as much as Umbrel. Just installing an update can break it. Now I should say that I am running it on a Raspberry Pi 4 so on better hardware it might be a different story but ultimately what I have come to realize is that I have to keep it as bare-bones as possible & I only run it for a Bitcoin node. At some point I intend to get a mini pc of some sort and install Start9
Dude, I've being trying to make this thing work for a month... it works for some time, then when I reboot it fails to find the boot drive. I'm done with it. Good luck for the future.
I think it would be really nice if there were some sort of icloud like dashboard for regular users to log into that gives them access to all of the apps that they have available to them. Maybe that already exists and I am not aware.
Umbrel got Ben Franklin's Kite bootstrapped. Spent most days for 5 months on maintenance. Climbed to top 100 rating of at that time 17,000 nodes. Umbrel 0.5.0 upgrade caused multiple problems. Decided to uninstall and reinstall. Uninstall deleted ln.conf file. Umbrel team stated they would assist and never did. In the meantime, channel balances were moving to peers that were closing on me due to unavailability. After weeks of various attempts, I bit the bullet and force closed all channels. It took weeks to recover the majority of sats from the LN. If you're a non-technical pleb, don't think Umbrel will allow you to run a routing node. If you are skilled in Linux and Python, you don't need Umbrel.
I have heard good stuff about Start9, however, finding this video of the CEO ranting about how bad his competitor is makes me want to run away from it. I would've preferred an objective comparison, but this little rant doesn't explain anything about Start9, just his perspective on how bad Umbrel is.
This is only a snippet of the full interview. He is not bashing umbrel. He explained why he takes start 9 in a different direction. I have start 9. Because I heard lots of complaints with umbrel.

Can I run Start9 inside VirtualBox?
great explanation Matt 👏👏👏

Yeah, my Umbrel always had issues, especially on updates. Looking for something more reliable. I LOVE Docker though. It's easy to understand.
This is 100% accurate. It really is a rickety house of twigs.
is there a link for the full interview?
Yes. Pinned message and here! ua-cam.com/video/Dlxttzs5tXI/v-deo.html
Is what he said still acurate vor Umbrel 1.0 and beyond? They Changed a lot then i guess.

If you're talking about Start9, yes it does. Don't know about Umbrel.

Far from being a plebe distribution …
Tech friend: Diogo!
Great video, but PLEASE don’t do these cheesy “pay attention” overlays, we’re not idiots.

It's honesty and it's in your best interest. Buyer beware. Try them all, see for yourself. Trust but verify
I've run an Umbrel and he's 100% correct. It's extremely fragile. Not reliable at all.
I agree with this video. Have been having issues and want to move from Umbrel. Worked fine for about a year.
This is only a snippet of the full interview. He is not bashing umbrel. He explained why he takes start 9 in a different direction. I have start 9. Because I heard lots of complaints with umbrel.
Confused?!!
