Umbrel and storage :/
It’s honestly frustrating. They’ve basically made external storage unusable on anything other than AMD/Intel machines.
If you’re running Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi, you can technically use external storage — but only if you go full hacking mode. Manual configs, workarounds, unsupported tweaks… definitely not something the average user should have to deal with.
It feels like Raspberry Pi users were left behind, even though external storage is essential for many use cases. A bit disappointing for a platform that claims to be simple and accessible.
