unfortunately, adding BitcoinII to Umbrel via the existing Bitcoin Core app is not straightforward. The reason is that the Umbrel Bitcoin Core app is specifically designed to work with Bitcoin Core, including its data structures, RPC interfaces, and configuration. BitcoinII, being a fork, has its own chain, parameters, and runtime behavior.
Technically, it’s possible to integrate it, but it would require creating a completely separate Umbrel app: a new Docker image, adjusted configuration files, and proper testing to ensure it runs smoothly alongside other Umbrel services. You can’t just swap the backend of the existing Bitcoin Core app.
So while feasible, it’s not a simple drop-in replacement. It would need some work to make it fully compatible.
I can’t do this on my own, but you can consider submitting a feature request in the official Umbrel app repository on GitHub.
Unfortunately, the NiceHash Docker Miner can’t really be integrated as an Umbrel app. It requires direct GPU access and proper drivers on the host system, which Umbrel doesn’t provide out of the box. On top of that, it has no web interface to connect with Umbrel’s app framework. The miner itself works fine with plain Docker, but it’s not suitable for the Community App Store.
I guess I will fork SRB Miner and make one, but their docker program should work. You can set GPU access in the docker file.
On the firefox, I’m surprised no one made an SSL fork because you can make one in an SSL wrapper independently from the container. Even though they should update this one. But its a pain to find the docker stuff because the files are in different places from the standard install, but regardless I think all you have to add is the files but it depends on what version of docker Umbrel uses.
You’re right, the container itself can work with GPU access, but Umbrel apps need a web UI, so it doesn’t fit the App Store.
Firefox could work via an SSL wrapper, but updates are tricky, so I’ve added it to the Community Store without updates for now. A proper HTTPS solution for Umbrel may come soon, which could change things.
Well they need to make a Trixie version because their bookwoorm setup doesn’t have enough disk space to update the backports from Debain for the drivers. I haven’t spent the time to see what version of docker this is, but I’m thinking it just needs the file path and certs and a config file added because on most that all you have to do. Others, you have to make a daemon proxie.
I don’t think anything from the webui uses the video card in the host machine, but if you use a miner usually it adjusts to free space on the video card if you are mining on a desktop computer or it would just refuse to mine and you only have cpu mining, But serious mining people would use a GPU mining computer which if umbrel used a graphics card, it would use the graphics built into those motherboards.
But on the next OS install they need to make their root partition a LVM so you can expand the drive space w/o having to come up with a mounting scheme for multiple drives
