I would like to run Bitcoin Knots in place of Bitcoin Core on Umbrel v1.3
Considering my node does not have the storage space to download a second copy of the blockchain, I’m guessing I will need to uninstall CORE, loose the chain data , then install Knots and resync.
Some questions:
Is this the recommended procedure?
Am I likely to run into issues uninstalling CORE when apps are dependant on it?
Any way to avoid resync by transferring data from CORE to Knots?
Hi, can you share why are you choosing to migrate?
I’m thinking on getting a better machine so I can start using self hosted Lightning and maybe I should use Knots too.
I am not sure exactly what needs to be copied,there are some index files that mess things up,I have found
cant vouch for your system, of course. but this is where it was for me. It still takes a while and depends on your disk speed. I have a HDD, so I just gave up and let it sync.
your post was the best guide I found. Thank you for the follow-up!
