Raspberry Pi bonus
Quality-of-life tweaks, alternative hardware, and operational helpers for the host system under your node.
This section covers the host system rather than the Bitcoin or Lightning stack: shell tweaks, dashboards, alternative boot and hardware configurations, UPS integration, and hardware-wallet-based SSH. None of it is required for a working node, it's what you reach for when you're ready to polish the setup.
Content being migrated
The bonus pages are still being rewritten for v4. Each page links to the v3 source while we work through the backlog.
