🚀 Announcing the offical release of Alby Hub nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm for StartOS!

Alby Hub offers incredible ease of use for lightning.

On StartOS, Alby Hub seamlessly integrates with your existing lightning node for maximum sovereignty.

Thank you nostr:npub1s9cyrzaj9rwt7kever592np0aehyjxhl6am5ak3lhdwshny9mnyqmkp75j and Horologger for packaging, and to everyone who side loaded for testing.

Source code: https://github.com/Start9Labs/albyhub-startos/releases/tag/v1.10.1


Not at the moment, no


StartOS is not affected by this issue


Hop into our dev channels on Telegram or Matrix.


FYI we just removed NWC from our marketplace because it is deprecated and being replaced by Alby Hub, which has NWC baked in. I do not think the nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm team will be maintaining NWC as a separate service going forward. They can confirm.


It would be very difficult on StartOS 0.3.5.x, but will be easy in StartOS 0.3.6.


Clearnet will be possible in 0.3.6, which is currently in Alpha testing and moving to beta next week. It will require using SSH and following a guide. In 0.4.0, clearnet functionality will be moved into the UI, no longer considered advanced.

We will move to 1.0 when StartOS is out of beta, expected next year, sometime after 0.4.0


We have an excellent support team in our Telegram channel who can try and help you identify the mistake.


Plug in a physical drive, click backup.

If you are trying to back up to a newwork folder and failing, 99% the problem is usually an invalid input, and it's usually the username.


No, currently NWC and Alby Hub only supprot LND. We hope nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm will support CLN in the future too.


Probably next week


Just polishing, soon


Definitely best to wit for official releases. Alby Hub is currently in Alpha testing and is expected to have bugs.

That said, you may have discovered a bug. Any info you can share will be helpful. Why did you have to restart it 3 times?

It's a Pi4 with a custom case (can't remember which). It does run StartOS (for testing/development purposes). Production node with core/lnd and all is running on the NUC (as a proxmox VM).

Can't stress enough how stable and easy StartOS is. Even for me as an 'experienced' developer/sysadmin I prefer it over a bare OS like debian for day to day use.


SimpleX, and with a nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll server you can self-host the communication on your own server as well.

Been using a node for a couple months on a 10+ year old laptop and very happy so far.


What do you mean by local emails? You mean running your own SMTP server? That is very difficult to do in a way that will actually result in emails being received to inboxes. Email is largely a captured protocol, and it is no longer feasible to run your own SMTP server and expect clients to permit emails from that server. We plan to offer Mail In a Box at some point, but it will probably only work for certain use cases. Meaning, many people will not receive the emails you send them.

Yeah that model runs just fine. Nothing compared to ChatGPT speeds but it's affordable consumer hardware. No, nobody has packaged OpenUI for StartOS yet, looks cool though.


The newer 7B models like Llama3 or Mistrel work great on well-resourced devices like the ones we sell.

No real harm in running it alongside Bitcoin and Lightning, but you also don't have to. It's your server, only install what you want.


Most likely this is an issue with the graphics driver. Which ISO did you flash? Many screens will need the "nonfree" ISO to work properly.

May I ask why do you have screen connected? Except for flashing firmware and extremely rare debugging purposes, there is absolutely no reason to connect a monitor. servers are meant to run headless (mno screen/monitor).

What do you mean "broadcast everything manually"? When you create a note, it automatically gets broadcast to all your connected relays, at least the ones that permit writing.

What exactly are you trying to do. I think there might be some confusion about how Nostr works.


A relay only knows what it learns from clients. Relays do not talk to eachother like they do it Bitcoin.

You can't just spin up a relay and expect it to know anything.

I see. Yeah, the difference is that Tor has decent support from client browsers/applications, where as i2p does not. For example, it won't matter if your LND grpc interface is available over i2p because no wallets would support connecting to it.

This doesn't mean we won't support i2p network connection, it just means it's not a top priority.

We are focusing our immediate networking efforts around VPN and clearnet usage. Combined with Tor and local connectivity, this will make StartOS servers very accessible.

DISPATCH WITH MATT HILL, FOUNDER OF START9, IN FOUR HOURS AT 1700 UTC - nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll

JOIN US IN THE INTERACTIVE LIVE CHAT: https://citadeldispatch.com

GOOD MORNING. 🫡


Shout out to  nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll for the best customer support in the business.  Especially   nostr:npub17kvhxlt80pqnnp6cnkph8qvuyvuhwu9fyt0yem4msx62ww489zas3r9wn4.


Picked up a Lenovo Thinkcentre on eBay and I am now running StartOS by nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll

Really impressed with how it looks and feels so far. This should be a nice upgrade from my raspi set up that has done the job for the last few years.

We are working on getting nostr:npub136hk9wu6xnrz64kfaapsvgc5rfnylz4djlx4w30w66h6cy48vhws3gth6q Remote included in their Marketplace. More on that soon.


Blows my mind how much stuff runs and runs well on the nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll Embassy Pro. Not sure why I still have raspis going anymore.


Yes, LND is something you can install on StartOS. But the whole point of StartOS is to automate the syadmin skills that prevent people from running servers and nodes. Everything you just described to him is just a button when you run LND on StartOS.


Core lightning does not do this? https://docs.corelightning.org/docs/backup


LND exposes a seed phrase on first startup, but Core Lightning does not.


This post is wildly incorrect. Have you ever used StartOS?


Lol just click "Properties" in LND and copy/paste the LND Connect string...


You can not. VPN functionality will be possible in 03.6 but not before.


This is not possible until 0.3.6, because CLN on StartOS does not have a port on the LAN. All hostname resultion is done using HTTPS and SNI. 0.3.6 gives services a unique port, so you will be able to use a VPN or even set up a clearnet domain. So only Tor for now.


All the services we support can be found on our GitHub.

So I'm new to hosting a lightning node but  nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze came out with lightning payments so I decided to set one up with  nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll's StartOS, CLN and RTL.

Overall it's been pretty easy to set up! Also, adding in-bound liquidity was EZPZ with a l-btc swap via  nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 !

Self-custody is a hill to die on.

But so is self-hosting.

Intermediaries: you will deputized, or you will be destroyed. Maybe not today, but they're coming for you.


Samurai was self-custody. Disintermediation equally important.


Disk encryption is always a risky endeavor. We personally do not recommend it in most cases until it is officially supported by StartOS.


You can just close the lid, it should continue working just fine.


Horrible problem for us lol. Back in stock soon!

Over the past year I've been very impressed by the work of  nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll. I love the work they have been doing to make owning your own cloud and therefore owning your own data not just affordable (free if you have a raspberry pi or able to run docker) but easy.

The past couple of days has been spent firing up a private nostr relay and  playing around with llm using FreeGPT-2.  Along with a host of other services.

This is what we need to be doing, hosting our own services in hardware that we own and control. Where we have the first and the last say on how our data is used if at all.

Self hosting IS resistance. Bitcoin IS wealth. Nostr IS freedom of speech.

We don't have to participate in the madness. Not participating is how we win.

Sedition one day at a time.

Yes, Start9 is a linux operating system that you flash a comptuter with. Then they have a "marketplace" of apps that run on it including bitcoin core ( full or pruned ), CLN, LND, LNBits, Ride the Lighting, Nostr Relay and others to store photos and docs and more that you can install with just a few clicks. It is an easy awesome way to host because each app has a unique tor address so you can connect to your home computer app on mobile. Lots to play with.

https://marketplace.start9.com/

I use an old cheap Dell Optiplex with 8GB and a 1 T SSD

I run a separate bitcoin full node on dedicated hardware. I don't want a bunch of apps on my fullnode.


Finally got my own node up and running! Thank younostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll for making it ridiculously simple to set up 🙏

ℹ Bitcoin on StartOS now exposes config options for  permitbaremultisig, datacarrier, and datacarriersize.

These options afford users greater control over their mempool policies in order to filter certain kinds of transactions.

https://github.com/Start9Labs/bitcoind-startos/releases/tag/v26.0.0.1

⚠ Due to a bug in StartOS, it is best to stop the Bitcoin before performing this update.

If you update Bitcoin while it is running, it may get stuck in "Stopping" status. If this happens, just restart the server.

❤  Thank you to the various community contributors who PR'd these options into the service codebase.

nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll Big shout out to Start9 and the Start9 community. Incredible support as I climb the huge mountain of new knowledge required to start and host nodes, get Lightning channels opened, and BTCPay implemented. All of my customers are going to be using your hardware for taking ownership of their POS solutions.


We tested it, and it did not work. When we find some time, we will produce a build for the Pi 5.


This is very detailed and thoughtful, thank you!


Me and nostr:npub1rznlzpg529u8j39a8qe7tapsygd54qp5qyr5jyue7whwpw79rsjqmzr4ly would highly recommend running a Bitcore Core node on StartOS from Start9. Then you can use Electrs with Sparrow Wallet from nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2

You can buy so called “node in a box” from Start9.

Both the nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll  Server One and Server Pro are literally awesome. Their customer service from the co-founders Matt Hill and Aiden McClelland is even better. I would characterize it as world class. I have personal experience. Thanks Aiden.

Yes, you can use the search funcationality.


You create backups, then you can store a backup in a separate location. It's a simple feature in StartOS.

In StartOS v0.4.0, you will be able to automatically create backups to remote locations.


Sounds like your Tor Browser privacy setting are too high or your Internet connection is terribly slow. You would know best which one.


I have no idea why we are not listed there or how to fix it.


How is flashing StartOS to a piece of hardware any more than flashing Ubuntu? In fact, I'm pretty sure StartOS has less bloat than most distros.


I'm not sure you understand what StartOS is. It's just an open source Linux distro with a better GUI for self-hosting than Debian, Ubuntu, and other Linux distros. Nobody is "serving" you software. Everything is 100% open source and sovereign. You're just saving time and hassle by using a Linux distro that is purpose built for self-hosting. Ask Evgany and the SimpleX team if hosting with StartOS has ANY sovereignty drawbacks.

It seems we were tagged by Jeff, asking when VPN support


No. Start9 has no plans to provide VPN services. Starting in 036, it will be possible to use your own VPN to conenct to your server.


VPN will be possible with 036, next release, no ETA


The next release of StartOS, 036 will have options for VPN.


No, but drive extensibility is on the roadmap

Doesn't seem like something that would benefit tremendously (or at all) by being self-hosted.


FreeGPT allows you to run whatever LLM you want. So you could choose to run a model that actively censors, or you could run a model that has no bias whatsover. It's your AI, running privately on your personal server. It will be whatever you want it to be.

Announcing the Start9 Restart Program and its first refurbished device.

Starting at just $329 for 2TB. Backed, warrantied, and supported by Start9!

https://blog.start9.com/the-start9-restart-program/


Careful, we highly recommend against using a Raspberry Pi for anything Bitcoin related. You're going to have a bad time, sooner or later.


"Happy". Yeah it's bitter sweet. Love the sales, but sucks to have nopthing top sell when lots of people still want to buy.


The server being unreachable in no way suggests there is a serious problem or anything has happened to your data.

During the update, the server makes a "bep-bep" noise every 30-60 seconds. This process can take up to 45 minutes in some cases. Most DIY devices do not have speakers, and people are impatient, and so they start clicking things and pulling power, which can result in a corrupted state.

At this point, the server will make a Beethoven chime, which means it is in diagnostic mode and therefor available by visiting start.local or by visiting the IP directly. Performing a "System Rebuild" from he diagnostic page will usually resolve the issue. In very rare cases, a single command may need to be run via SSH.

We have an unbelievably helpful support team available pretty much around the clock on our Telegram channel: https://t.me/start9_labs. Please drop in for assistance getting your devices running again, shouldn't take too long.

In the future, updates will serve their own user interface in order to provide visual, as well as audio, feedback for people without speakers.


Twitter Space tomorrow at 1pm ET.

We'll be joined by nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk, nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8, nostr:npub1gu47n7fxfm4py48jktmu6tdqcvva4e87fntynuzzf62zxnw2e7tsc6907g, and Tomer.

Consulate browser was decommissioned almost 2 years ago. My guess is you are are woefully out of date. StartOS is more stable now than it has ever been.


NextCloud is perfect for this. Then you can install Jellyfin to stream all that content to yourself. Just like plex but better designed IMO

Backups only need to be created when you open a new channel to someone


Currently, you click "create backup" whenever you want to create a backup. Can be done to a USB stick or over-the-air to another device on the same LAN.


Because Docker is a pile of crap


🚀 Announcing StartOS v0.3.5!

This is our most stable release ever with massive improvements to performance and reliability.

A big step towards v0.4.0.

You won't see the difference; you will feel it!

https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases/tag/v0.3.5


In the System Tab, you should see a button called "Software Update". If there is an update available, it should have a rocket ship next to it. Maybe you are on a VERY old version. What version are you on?


Our goal is to be so awesome that you feel proud to wear our shirt for your presentation. That said, I'm happy to send you a shirt and a few more to hand out.


It can take up to 24h but should be faster.

You will only see the updates if you are on the latest version of StartOS


No


📢 Announcing 5 major updates for StartOS!

- LND 0.17.0

- Gitea 1.20.5

- BTCPay 1.11.7

- LNBits 0.11.1

- RTL 0.14.1


We recommend using Lightning Node Connect through Lightning Terminal app. You can also enter the credentials manually instead of scanning the QR code. IN the next release of LND (0.17) on StartOS, scanning the QR should work just fine


We're working together, but it's not ready yet


Of course it does :)


Will be available very soon


8GB devices with slow disk I/O such as the Raspberry Pi aren't going to work for much longer.


🚀 Synapse v1.94.0 is now available for StartOS

https://github.com/Start9Labs/synapse-wrapper/releases/tag/v1.94.0


🚀 Burn After Reading v0.1.6 is now available for StartOS.

Live demo sites available at:

https://burnafterreading.net and using Tor at http://burrrrn6i4g4feosxlliwgfn5ocdznkxxkcfu5ftnwyzxk7fdbwfibyd.onion

Burn After Reading is a free, simple, fast, standalone pastebin service for sharing messages and files using ephemeral links.


StartOS is an OS. It doesn't run on Windows, it replaces Windows


No, this is planned for a future release. Right now StartOS supports a single drive for service data.


No, it has been renamed


You can pick up a Server Pure here: https://store.start9.com/collections/servers/products/server-pure


🥳 Announcing TWO new services on StartOS!

1. Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image AI, similar to Midjourney

2. FreeGPT is a chat AI, similar to ChatGPT

Both are self-hosted and uncensored, running privately on your own server, accessible from anywhere.

It's in the Community Registry. You can switch to that by clicking "change registry" in the marketplace


I think you would have to sync the file, then manually move it to another (unsynced) folder in NextCloud before deleting from your computer. I don't think what you are seeking is officially supported


At present we do not. We have a Matrix group though: https://matrix.to/#/!lMnRwPWnyQvOfAoEnD:matrix.start9labs.com


That's a shame. How many days so far? Anything useful in the logs, or was this some kind of netowrk issue? Also, what hardware are you using?


On it
