==== Umbrel
Famous for their UX/UI, _Umbrel_ provides a very easy and accessible way to get your Bitcoin and Lightning node up and running in no time, especially for beginners. A very distinctive feature is that _Umbrel_ utilizes Neutrino/SPV during the IBD (Inital Blockchain Download) so you can instantly start using your node. Once Bitcoin Core is fully synced in the background it automatically switches over and disables SPV mode. Umbrel OS supports the Raspberry Pi 4 and can also be installed on any Linux-based OS or on a virtual machine on macOS or Windows. You can also connect any wallet that supports Bitcoin Core P2P, Bitcoin Core RPC, the Electrum protocol or lndconnect.

In addition to a Bitcoin and Lightning node, Umbrel introduced the Umbrel App Store, where you can easily install additional services, such as:
* Lightning Terminal (Interface for managing channel liquidity, loop-in & loop-out)
* Ride The Lightning (Lightning Node Management GUI)
* Specter Desktop (watch-only coordinator for multi-signature and single-key Bitcoin wallets)
* BTCPayServer (Cryptocurrency Payment Processor)
* BTC-RPC-Explorer (Bitcoin Blockchain Explorer)
* ThunderHub (Monitor and manage your node)
* Sphinx Relay (Handling connectivity and storage for Sphinx chat)
* mempool.space (Mempool visualizer and block explorer)
* LNbits (Lightning wallet/accounts System)
Currently still in beta and not considered secure.
==== BTCPay Server ==== BTCPay Server
While not initially designed as an installation "helper", the e-commerce and payment platform _BTCPay Server_ has an incredibly easy installation system that uses docker containers and +docker-compose+ to install a Bitcoin node, Lightning node, and payment gateway, among many other services. It can be installed on a variety of hardware platforms, from a simple Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB recommended) to a mini-PC, old laptop, desktop or server.
