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.
