If you are a developer using snapchain regularly, it is worth considering setting up your own local node. Queries to a local node are really fast.

For probably less than $250 you can get a RaspberryPi5 (16GB, it's important), with an internal 1TB SSD (+SD, PSU, etc). 

It won't be able to support thousands of clients making requests simultaneously, but it's more than enough for any dev, or data analyst.

This is one of the best homelab servers I ever had. Not the most powerful, but really silent, very small footprint and it feels so reliable compared to much higher-speced (but same price range) computers I've had in the past. 

Really love it. (Runs snapchain like a pro)

- Raspberry Pi5 16GB
- NVMe Base Case for Raspberry Pi 5 (pimoroni)
- NVMe Base Duo for Raspberry Pi 5 - 2x2TB SSD

My setup. I went for 4TB, to have room for other things too, but 1TB is enough (current snapchain db is ~350GB, you will also need ~160GB during the installation for the snapshot download, so, unless we have exponential FC growth, 1TB is fine).

I like this, will have a look,

I already an Asustor NAS with 4Tb, would that work as well?
Currently it’s mainly there as a Plex server + local Time Machine for our Macs + data storage.
