I am looking to run my own BTC node and PiHole (and possibly Lightning node as well). Just discovered the Embrel and looks promising - easy to use, with a great selection of apps.

Found a bargain RPI4b 2GB kit for sale (70 euros), but I am wondering - will that be enough to comfortably run Umbrel with BTC node and PiHole?

PS: I have an Unraid home-lab/server, but would prefer to run BTC node and PiHole on a different machine.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your answer. pi400 is about 120 euros new, which could get a used Intel NUC with an i3. Will have to think about this some more.
