Hardware list

This page recaps the necessary hardware to setup your node with Umbrel.

This is the hardware I use in this tutorial.

• Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, with 8GB of RAM

• 2TB external SSD with USB connectivity

• 32GB micro SD card

• micro SD adapter

• RJ 45 cable

You'll find that on Amazon or anywhere else.

You can also use an old PC instead if you have one. Make sure it has at least 8GB RAM, 1TB disk and 4 CPU cores.

You can use a 1TB SSD instead of 2TB but note that as of Jan 2025 the blockchain is 715GB.

The RJ 45 is optional if we want to input wifi credentials pre-boot.

Eventually you can also buy a protective case for the pi.
