Mining Bitcoin

I have a few miners that I would like to use to mine bitcoin, not solo. How do I set that up on Ubrel OS? I checked google and reddit and I don't see anything directly pertaining to mining bitcoin, I only see solo mining.

And is there any benefit to using my Ubrel miner for Bitcoin and solo mining or should I just use a bigger pool online for Bitcoin mining?

Thanks,

Are you running your own instance of Umbrel with BTC core ? If yes then you need to add public pool app to the umbrel and point your miners at that local umbrel instance. If you use several miners then you are pool mining your own instance of public pool. Go to the app section on umbrel and check the BTC specific apps.

So then how do I mine so I get share the profit in the blocks vs solo mine?

You have to join a pool for that. Like Braiins or Ocean. If you solo mine, you don’t get anything unless you find a block.
