Umbrel
A beautiful personal server OS for Raspberry Pi or any Linux distro
Run your personal server with a Bitcoin and Lightning node in your home, self-host open source apps like Nextcloud and Matrix to break away from big tech, and take full control of your data. For free. All our interactions on the internet today are mediated by a few companies who offer “free” services in exchange for storing our data on their servers to spy on us. Running a personal server fundamentally changes that. You and your family’s photos, videos, files, notes, passwords, everything, have nothing to do with someone else’s computer. They’re a part of your private life, and now they can all be stored by you, in your home, on your Umbrel. The Bitcoin network is made up of thousands of nodes that verify every single transaction in the blockchain. Some of them mine Bitcoin too, but unlike a mining node, running a non-mining node doesn’t require expensive hardware. Achieve unparalleled privacy by connecting your wallet directly to the Bitcoin node on your Umbrel. -
