 My @umbrel Home just arrived and I immediately started syncing my node. 

This is my family’s node 🧡

What else should I do? https://image.nostr.build/c3df567158e29cfcc1ac59d40e50708a12069df934b7bbc27c88b94bc0dd5f5e.png https://image.nostr.build/46a631bb1d3e1aed6dd43c45f9076f5f8e1accac93b0f413673d5ecdec5d723b.png  
 Get your family photos off google and use nextcloud for file storage 🤙 
 Wow definitely I will. 

Is there a way to transfer everything fast? Or it manual? 
 Youll need to download your photos onto a computet that is on same local network as your umbrel.  Then, upload files manually from that computer to umbrel via browser access.  Once that is done though, you can set your situation up to automatically send photos to nextcloud going forward.  For example, i have nextcloud app on my phone synced with my nextcloud service and all photos i take get uploaded as soon as im home and my phone is back on the local network.

Look into vaultwarden too for password management. 
 This is amazing thank you. And timing is perfect since I’ve been working towards improving me and my family’s privacy with open source authenticators, better browsers, search engines and VPNs. 

Nextcloud and vaultwarden sound amazing. I’m currently using Dropbox passwords for pass management. Not ideal 
 Do you know, with my node, how can I help my cousin’s restaurant onboard to bitcoin and start receiving bitcoin payments?

I’ve been reading a lot about BTCPay server, is it easier for me to host the server and then let him create his store and own wallet? Just use my node for hosting? 

Or what’s the best way to help a restaurant get onboarded to Bitcoin? 
 Im not really an expert at this but i think using your own node over tor to be used at a business that does daily small transactions for receiving bitcoin over lightning would be an unacceptably bad customer experience.  I assume you are talking about lightning ?

A business onboarding to self - custodied lightning tramsactions is extremely difficult and certainly a labor of love for btc at this phase of adoption...so i would not try and onboard a restaurant unless the people running the business fully understand what they are doing ( which in that case you wouldnt even be needed in the process ).

 
 I might disagree. I think @btcpayserver is a great way to help businesses receive bitcoin payments on lightning with little to no friction. Me hosting the BTCpay server and them using my server but having a self-custody wallet. At least that’s what I’ve read so far on their docs. 

For a business to set up a node, set up a btcpay server and then self custody is a bit much if they don’t know what they are doing.

I’m looking for ways to help small businesses in Colombia receive bitcoin payments and slowly onboard them to it.

Curious to get your thoughts 
 Thas great, and i applaud that.  Btcpay server is a great tool, but you need to be very good at managing a lightning node more importantly.  Do you have any experience doing that ?   
 Running Nextcloud on the same server as your Bitcoin and Lightning node isn’t the best idea. 😬 
 woop! glad it arrived before christmas! welcome aboard 🫡 
 Be careful and back things up properly 🐶🐾🫡 
 Install Tor Snowflake 
 Keep it simple & enjoy... 
 Congrats Charlie, have fun! 
 If u have a cold wallet link them up. Link everything to it. You r in control now! 
 Tor snowflake 
 Perfect as is. You may want LNDg, thunderhub and lightning terminal for node management but less is more. Be careful about mixing too many inessential apps on a lighting node. 
 Why don’t you run a Nostr Relay? It could be usefull and funny… 
 Running my own relay now ⚡️
