If it’s mildly interesting, watch this one as well, it’s a bit longer. If you don’t, then watch this 11-minute video to learn some SSS (super simple stuff).

This does require you to know how to navigate around the file system in Linux. The most important tip from here on is PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL, a small typo can send you down a frustrating search for “why does this not work?” I promise it will be easy if you follow the instructions, ask me if you get stuck. This article will guide you with some command-line. The MyNode setup (and Ronin Dojo) are inside docker containers - you need to be a computer scientist to have any hope of accessing the files manually. When something goes wrong and you end up needing to re-sync the blockchain on your bundled node, at least you have this simple setup up that will not let you down. By all means, use those easy-to-install nodes, but I would do that IN ADDITION to this. This is slightly more technical than running a bundled node like MyNode ( link) or RaspiBlitz ( link) these have many other applications you can run with a relatively straightforward install - but because there are more moving parts, when something goes wrong it’s harder to troubleshoot. I’ll go through more hours of pain and suffering, so you all won’t have to.

I suggest getting EPS working first, then I’ll show you how to install the more powerful servers next time after I figure it out. You also can’t be the “Uncle Jim” of your social circle with EPS, by providing a trusted node for them to connect to. So if your desktop wallet is connected, don’t spend hours tinkering with your mobile Electrum Wallet trying to figure out why it doesn’t connect (true story). One thing to note about EPS is that it really is “personal” - it only connects to one Electrum Wallet at a time.
There are others too, each with different trade-offs. Others include Electrum Server in Rust (Electrs), the no-longer-supported ElectrumX, and ElectrumX/Spesmilo which is an ElectrumX variant that is supported. Note the Electrum Personal Server (EPS) is one of several server options.
The server does not copy the Blockchain data, it is not a node - Bitcoin Core is. It needs an Electrum Server to be the middle man. It would be nice if your Electrum Wallet could just get blockchain data from your own Bitcoin Core, but it can’t. This article explains how to set up Raspbian OS (A variant of Debian Linux) on a Raspberry Pi, how to install Bitcoin Core, Electrum Personal Server (EPS), and Electrum Desktop Wallet, and then privately connect the Wallet to Bitcoin Core via EPS.
