I’ve just finally got my RasPi 4, installed Umbrel and managed to run the Bitcoin node and was kind of trying to move forward with LN. You just saved a lot of my time, thanks a lot!
Thanks for the update Ben. This is a much needed video. It was a week late for me, I had to muddle along with the last video but did manage ok. This will be a great help to people setting up for the first time
Thank you for placing this content, just beginning my support of Bitcoin and getting ready to order hardware to run my own Bitcoin Node, very informative, in spite of it being years old. And I will definitely double check for more recent information to make sure I make the correct decision, something tells me this still holds true today.
Respectful speaking you missed the most important step at 30:58 when connecting umbrel to ledger live at step 4.. most people can't get it work at step 4 because ledger satstack is a complecated software needed to connect to umbrel. Please give us an update.
Great tutorial as usually Ben. I wish you could spend a little time on the Satstack integration. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me and I really want it all connected.
Dang it, you skipped the SatStack part of the Ledger Live connection to Full Node. I keep getting stuck there. How the hell do I run SatStack so that Ledger Live connects to it.
Hey Ben, thank you. Really need help to install satstack for Ledger. Can you do a tutorial on this? There is no video out there explaining how to do this. It's really quite tricky to follow Ledger support instructions. Thanks!
Yep this seems like a requirement for Ledger to connect to Umbrel. Not sure how he hasn't mentioned this because I cant proceed without doing it...and I just cant figure out how to get satstack to run.
Ledger stopped supporting Satstack. The Umbrel team reached out to them 3 times I was told by the support chat of Umbrel. They never got an answer from Ledger…
Thanks for this. Set up my node as per your guide but struggling to work out the sparrow wallet connection. Which is preferable, the Local or Tor connection. If Tor, how does one connect having never used Tor?
Ben, thanks for your videos. I have all the hardware you recommended. Any thoughts on whether Umbrel or MyNode is better for someone who is just starting to run his own node? I watched your MyNode video and was leaning toward them.
I know this is an older video, but I'm just started with bitcoin node. My question is what's in it for me to "pay" someone to join there channel in the lightning network?
Thanks for the very detailed info! That said, I still don't know why I would ever use Lightning or open channels, which to open and why. All I want to know is if I can connect my Unisat and Xverse wallets to my own Umbrel node...
Hi Ben, I opened up a lightning channel w/ you. How do I get it online? Local balance has Sats, but Remote doensn't, is that a problem? I can't send or receive any Sats either. Thanks..
Hi man! great video. Want to know if we use our own node, connect it via locally on the ledger live, do i need to set it up on my different ledger live app? lets say i used to set it on pc, now i need to use transfer on the phone. Thanks! building my raspberry pi 5
So far I am running my Umbrel node, I believe, totally behind Tor. What do I have to do to allow the node to be “reachable,” if anything? Thanks so much.
great video thank you! just one question i‘ve beein dying to find an answer😭 do i have to open a channel first if i want to send sats or will the channel to my opposite be opened automatically when i send sats to the person that created an invoice. so for example, i‘m at a shop and want to buy something from someone but i don‘t have any channels open. would that work if the seller creates an invoice?
Very cool. Really considering doing this but I would like to know if someone is able to summarize the benefits/reasons one might want to do this(especially ones that are self serving or monetary benefits). Would be a good indication of how much adoption something like Umbrel gets and why one would be motivated to continually maintain and re-engage with it on a regular basis.
Hi two questions 1. Do you have a tutorial on extending this to your Wordpress with Woocommerce store to receive payments through BTCPayserver? 2. As a local store or consultant with this setup, can you comment on how you would plan your sales? If you are making 60.000 usd per year (so that is total incomming payments) how many nodes you need to be linked with? Eg 5000 usd incomming per month. How would you plan that? Thanks
Does anyone know or perhaps you Ben if you can just unplug the node from the internet when you don't use it and just plug it back in when you use it? I mean it doesn't have to stay running when you're not using it right?
can you please make a tutorial about connect Phoenix , Muun and Blue Wallet to Umbrell if you are using Tailscale as standard instructions dont work - thank you brother
sir can u plz tell is there any problem to use prune old blocks option in bitcoin node app in umbrel to reduce the size of blockchain to be downloaded on our lap or pc?
Excellent how-to, BTC Sessions. I'm very new to using a ligtning node, and have no idea what I'm doing. There seem to be almost no user friendly tutorials that I can find. I have Umbrel with Lightning installed and I've been scratching my head for a week wondering how the f' do I actually start using this thing lol.
Hi, thank you for awesome videos, I've just about watched them all by now, I think. Tried opening a channel to your lightning node (using the connection information above) but it gives me an error message: Dial Proxy Failed....Unknown Error Host Unreachable. Any idea what is the problem? Thx.
I am v confused with all the wallets. Why use Zeus when we have blue wallet or Wallet of Satoshi set up? Also, can you connect multiple wallet providers to one node (i.e. zeus, WoS, Ledger, Sparrow)?
I noticed you keep a lot in the Lightning wallet compared to the main chain. To open a channel, though, does it matter whether I have anything in the Lightning wallet? Or maybe better stated: 1) Do I need anything in the Lightning wallet to start opening channels? And 2) If I open channels with people, does the Lightning wallet balance increase, or will I need to add to that wallet from another location? I know that opening a channel effectively locks up the Bitcoin, but where does it go while it’s off-chain?
Indeed. I've covered RaspiBlitz, myNode and Ronindojo as well, but I'll soon be taking a look at Start9, Nodl and perhaps Citadel. I've also of course covered simply running a copy of core and connecting your wallets to it.
no matter which app I use (Electrs, bitcoin full node, thunderhub etc) Sparrow does not connect. Error: "SOCKS: Host unreachable. Check if the proxy server is running."
I've tried to set up. My node has stopped syncing at 20% for 3 weeks! Frustrating. I tried this before for 3 months and it never fully downloaded 170 Mbps download!
I had to delete Bitcoin Core recently and reinstall/resync. It froze up on me for no reason and stopped syncing. I'm almost synced back up after several days. Not sure what happened. Defintely feel naked without it though. So to speak.
The 0.5.3 update Epsteined my node. System won't boot. Anyone else had this issue. I had security cameras on it but there was a technical error and my kids who I put in charge to watch the node were asleep when it died.
You are doing a great job! Can you help me with something unrelated? I have a SafePal wallet with USDT in it and I have my recovery phrase.{pride}-{pole}-{obtain}-{together}-{second}-{when}-{future}-{mask}-{review}-{nature}-{potato}-{bulb}. How do I transfer them to Binance?
How is it possible to talk so much without saying anything? And why you do this? Bla bla bla it is so annoying if you want to learn something and somebody who says he knows something and can help you ist only talking all the time. The Input you gave i would talk to you in 10 Minutes. 4/5 less on time you need. Glad youtube give me the option to speed up the video for watching. If you like to hear you, go in front of a mirror and talk to yourself next time one hour before you record a video!
Sparrow wallet will work with bitcoin core. Ive been using it. I believe electrs is faster though? I'm the guy that emailed you last night. You didn't answer if I could put your content on my peertube (decentralized federated video platform).
Did he said you can only send but can't receive funds until 'this-that-buy-here-buy-there'? Am I dreaming this thing up, or that's really what LND is all about... omg I'm so glad I watched this video before getting highjacked into cryto. Bye!!

I’ve just finally got my RasPi 4, installed Umbrel and managed to run the Bitcoin node and was kind of trying to move forward with LN.
You just saved a lot of my time, thanks a lot!
Ben, you're a huge asset to the community, appreciate all that you do. 👍
Thanks!
you really are the best resource the bitcoin community has for learning.
Thanks for the update Ben. This is a much needed video. It was a week late for me, I had to muddle along with the last video but did manage ok. This will be a great help to people setting up for the first time

Thanks Ben, you make setting up a node a hell of a lot easier.

Please give us an update.
Shouldn't be using Ledger after the recent debacle of them having access to your private keys
I'm having the same issue. anyone solved step 4? i'm getting lost there! :(
Thank you for updating this! Some things in Umbrel had changed since your last tutorial. Good stuff.
After so long with a tutorial! Welcome back Ben! 😃
Oh wait, didn't notice the Raspiblitz one 😅
Killer work with this channel man
Great tutorial as usually Ben. I wish you could spend a little time on the Satstack integration. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me and I really want it all connected.
IS there a video on completing the SatStack portion? I cannot figure out how to set that up for the life of me...
Thank you for this sincerely, from montreal Qc you’ve educated me so much with so many of your videos.
Muito obrigado por dividir teu conhecimento.
Thanks... this is exactly the info I was looking for.
amazing video thank you so much for the info! there is so much to learn about bitcoin and it just gets more and more addicting as you do
How do I ensure that in running on the TOR Browser?
Dang it, you skipped the SatStack part of the Ledger Live connection to Full Node. I keep getting stuck there. How the hell do I run SatStack so that Ledger Live connects to it.
Agreed, I can't figure out how to setup on my mac. Have you figured it out?
Ledger isn’t supporting Satstack that’s why 😕
Excellent update Ben, have learned a lot from you 👍
Truly appreciate the info you put out.
Hey Ben, thank you. Really need help to install satstack for Ledger. Can you do a tutorial on this? There is no video out there explaining how to do this. It's really quite tricky to follow Ledger support instructions. Thanks!

Ledger stopped supporting Satstack. The Umbrel team reached out to them 3 times I was told by the support chat of Umbrel. They never got an answer from Ledger…
Ben if I heard you correctly you said Sparrow requires Electrum
It does connect to Bitcoin Core so not sure why not mentioned
He did not tell us that MemPool also requires electrum
So in order to install it it will tell you to install electrum first...
Thank you Ben this was really helpful and saved me a lot of time.
Hey Ben, awesome video! What’s the difference in privacy between connecting wallet throw TOR vs.local? Isn’t Umbrel always running over Tor? Thanks!
Really informative, thank you! however your node times out when trying to connect?
Thanks Ben, 😀
Thanks for this. Set up my node as per your guide but struggling to work out the sparrow wallet connection. Which is preferable, the Local or Tor connection. If Tor, how does one connect having never used Tor?
What’s a good sats back app you can connect regular credit card to?
What is that password manager you are using it looked slick
Runing this Node make money? Waiting your answer please
Thanks Ben. Can you do a review/tutorial on a Citadel node please? Haven’t heard you mention it vs Umbrel.
Ben, thanks for your videos. I have all the hardware you recommended. Any thoughts on whether Umbrel or MyNode is better for someone who is just starting to run his own node? I watched your MyNode video and was leaning toward them.
I know this is an older video, but I'm just started with bitcoin node. My question is what's in it for me to "pay" someone to join there channel in the lightning network?
You are a GEM thank you!
Thanks for the very detailed info! That said, I still don't know why I would ever use Lightning or open channels, which to open and why. All I want to know is if I can connect my Unisat and Xverse wallets to my own Umbrel node...
Awesome video. Thank you 🧡
My goodness just need the link to download the lightning network node to add to my actual node
Ben can you do one for citadel node? I think they are open source compared to umbrel.
Can't connect to the server through tor, chrome works though. Any suggestions? Is it private if it runs through chrome?
Hi Ben, I opened up a lightning channel w/ you. How do I get it online? Local balance has Sats, but Remote doensn't, is that a problem? I can't send or receive any Sats either. Thanks..
Any checksums or signatures that need to be verified before using Umbrel ??
Hi,
I have this problem in the installation, it stops at this part:
started daily apt upgrade and clean activities
Hi man! great video. Want to know if we use our own node, connect it via locally on the ledger live, do i need to set it up on my different ledger live app? lets say i used to set it on pc, now i need to use transfer on the phone.
Thanks! building my raspberry pi 5
Newbie question, if I am connecting my electrum wallet to my Electrs app do the transactions go through my node?
So far I am running my Umbrel node, I believe, totally behind Tor. What do I have to do to allow the node to be “reachable,” if anything? Thanks so much.
great video thank you! just one question i‘ve beein dying to find an answer😭
do i have to open a channel first if i want to send sats or will the channel to my opposite be opened automatically when i send sats to the person that created an invoice.
so for example, i‘m at a shop and want to buy something from someone but i don‘t have any channels open. would that work if the seller creates an invoice?
Hi Ben, thank you for all your videos. What about the incoming connection on Umbrel. Is it best to accept this or leave it outgoing only? thx!
Can you access the local umbrel server on an iPhone using safari?
We do we not use SSL? I would argue this should be enabled by default. Or is Umrel making it too hard to set up properly?
Very cool. Really considering doing this but I would like to know if someone is able to summarize the benefits/reasons one might want to do this(especially ones that are self serving or monetary benefits). Would be a good indication of how much adoption something like Umbrel gets and why one would be motivated to continually maintain and re-engage with it on a regular basis.
Umbrel is awesome, I can't recommend it enough, especially if you are a big nerd. 👍
Hi two questions
1. Do you have a tutorial on extending this to your Wordpress with Woocommerce store to receive payments through BTCPayserver?
2. As a local store or consultant with this setup, can you comment on how you would plan your sales? If you are making 60.000 usd per year (so that is total incomming payments) how many nodes you need to be linked with? Eg 5000 usd incomming per month. How would you plan that? Thanks
It was a real struggle, being so anemic and all, but somehow I managed to get it set up.
Hello, LedgerLive set up own you node doesnt work. Have some one a new set up?
Thanks for your videos. I got a node running with your help.
Thank you
Does anyone know or perhaps you Ben if you can just unplug the node from the internet when you don't use it and just plug it back in when you use it? I mean it doesn't have to stay running when you're not using it right?
Runing this Node will make money? Waiting your answer
Can’t fined which satstack ?
Thank you. The is was excellent.
can you please make a tutorial about connect Phoenix , Muun and Blue Wallet to Umbrell if you are using Tailscale as standard instructions dont work - thank you brother
sir can u plz tell is there any problem to use prune old blocks option in bitcoin node app in umbrel to reduce the size of blockchain to be downloaded on our lap or pc?
hola bro, veo que no explicas la parte de ledger donde hay que instalar el satstack hay me quede yo =(

I have an umbrel set up. But, using the lightning network confuses me.

MyNode rehash is still coming, right ?
You bet! Syncing right now :)
im not using ledger live. I use BW. Also i do not find nowere to setup this Pi4
HELPPPPPP
how do i reset my ride the fightning password, i have 1 attampet left and the password i wrote down did not work what do i do?
definitely want ppl running different software to increase decentraisationn..
Indeed. I've covered RaspiBlitz, myNode and Ronindojo as well, but I'll soon be taking a look at Start9, Nodl and perhaps Citadel. I've also of course covered simply running a copy of core and connecting your wallets to it.
Ledger live? Please
no matter which app I use (Electrs, bitcoin full node, thunderhub etc) Sparrow does not connect. Error: "SOCKS: Host unreachable. Check if the proxy server is running."
Hi, is possible install umbrel on raspberry pi 400? please method for that
Do you mean rpi 4 with 4GB ram? Shouldn't be a problem. This video shows the setup from the beginning:
th-cam.com/video/fppmhqjqh2E/w-d-xo.html
I've tried to set up. My node has stopped syncing at 20% for 3 weeks! Frustrating. I tried this before for 3 months and it never fully downloaded 170 Mbps download!
Hi, can we run Lightning Node with only Dynamic IP? I hope someone answers, thanks
If not, I think he would be saying so, as this is important info, but let me know if you find out 😊
Haha didn't know that Justin Trudeau was running a lightning node.
I had to delete Bitcoin Core recently and reinstall/resync. It froze up on me for no reason and stopped syncing. I'm almost synced back up after several days. Not sure what happened. Defintely feel naked without it though. So to speak.
😊
I couldn't believe you have channel with Justin Trudeau.😂
The 0.5.3 update Epsteined my node. System won't boot. Anyone else had this issue. I had security cameras on it but there was a technical error and my kids who I put in charge to watch the node were asleep when it died.
Hey mate why did you stop? Lightning network ain't dead!
You are doing a great job! Can you help me with something unrelated? I have a SafePal wallet with USDT in it and I have my recovery phrase.{pride}-{pole}-{obtain}-{together}-{second}-{when}-{future}-{mask}-{review}-{nature}-{potato}-{bulb}. How do I transfer them to Binance?
i dont see the reason for tail scale. i can access my node locally and over tor with my phone, just like I do on windows...
Nice job dude, I was not away. Any chance we can generate income?
I also have a channel with JustinTrudeau 🤣
Haha I laughed when I saw it in my list of peers
What are the odds that one of the lions is gay?
