400gb disk capacity should not be enough for a full btc node now.

It isn't, but then again you can always run a pruned node, which should be good as long as you do not need the complete blockchain data for API or maybe even LN purposes.

I do not believe that Contabo sets up a bitcoin node for you though - I think you have to do that yourself, and that they only supply suitable hardware for it.

Fairly little. Decentralization should take into account how redundant our nodes are, as opposed to how many nodes are there. I suppose it wouldn't matter that much if there are tons of nodes in certain areas or datacenter.

Whilst it is great that they're able to include a container image for this, it isn't difficult to run a few commands to download Bitcoin Core. If you have to update Bitcoin Core in the near future, you would also have to do it yourself.

Has anybody tried to get or build a node from like Contabo? I saw that it has this Blockchain tab and you could build or possibly have a prebuild VPS for BTC Node.



I'm looking to try and really support BTC this way. What do you think are the benefits of this?
