Can I have multiple users on my Embassy?

----------------------------------------

Currently, the Embassy itself is designed for a single user. There is no way to grant others access to your Embassy without sharing your personal, master password, which is not recommended. There are certain services, however, such as Bitwarden, File Browser, and Mastodon, that do support multiple users (aka multi-tenancy, aka the Uncle Jim model) where people who trust you (and vice versa) can create their own, personal accounts for these services on your Embassy. Just remind them that they are trusting you with their data, and that it might be preferable for them to take the final leap of self-sovereignty and get an Embassy of their own.

Is a wallet vulnerable to hacking if it's always online??
|

---------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Funds are not stored on the node typically. The node simply serves as a source of truth for the state of the blockchain. Attacks depend on where the keys are and where the signing happens. You can use something like a hardware wallet for better security. Though, to be fair, a lot of attacks depend on you or your machine being targeted specifically, and a whole bunch of attack vectors are highly theoretical and obscure.
|
||||
|
||||
Most successful attacks seem to be either fake/doctored software or a social attack (tricking you into installing some malware or giving your seed outright or something like that).
|
||||
Keep in mind, however, the more value there is out there to steal, the more sophisticated attacks will get automated (bots, crawlers etc). So its not just the risk profile of today, but also tomorrow you have to consider. That’s why something like a hardware wallet or dedicated mobile device for key signing is a good idea.

The cheapest way to run a Bitcoin/Lightning node is to buy a Raspberry Pi (or equivalent), compile the software from source yourself, and host everything on Tor. This takes even technical people significant time to accomplish. On the other end of the spectrum is something like Embassy, which "just works". In between is stuff like MyNode, Nodl, RoninDojo, Umbrel, and Raspiblitz, which all require some degree of command line effort and network configuration. The biggest benefit of Embassy is that it is infinitely extensible to all of open-source, self-hosted software. The service listing will expand enormously over time in ways the other platforms may choose not to, or have difficulty implementing.

Would you consider (Umbrel, Nodl, RoninDojo, etc) a competitor to Embassy, or are they different enough to be compatible?
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Other node devices are competitors, and there are distinct trade-offs to each platform, but we are definitely moving toward the same future, which is a win for everyone!
|
||||
We are taking more a general approach to all of open-source, hosted software, including Bitcoin/Lightning. The aforementioned examples tend to be more Bitcoin/Lightning focused.
|
||||
|
||||
One difference with Start9 is that we began with a plan to create an OS for general-purpose sovereign hosting of server-side software. No other project in the space (that we know of) started this way. There's also no reason you can't use more than one device. As an example, some users prefer Embassy for their data and RoninDojo for their Bitcoin stack.
|
||||
|
||||
Some other things that embassyOS offers that others do not:
|
||||
|
||||
- Graphical configuration of services (instead of command line)
|
||||
- System backups (pretty important)
|
||||
- Encrypted connection over the home network (https)
|
||||
- Health Checks for quick-glance understanding of the status of your services
|
||||
- Unique user experiences created by service-packagers, including "Actions" (custom commands at the click of a button!)
|
||||

||||
From an architectural perspective, embassyOS is a true operating system, giving you the ability to understand and control what is going on. Many other systems are black boxes offering little insight or agency to you. If something goes wrong, you'll have to put in your engineer hat and go command line diving. Lastly, our team is very responsive and helpful. We pride ourselves on providing incredible customer support.

While we are intent on providing the most friendly experience possible to our customers, ultimately it will be impossible for Start9 to create documentation and tutorials for every service we make available on the Embassy. Each service *should* have its own documentation produced by the service developers themselves, and we will do our best keep track, consolidate, and link to it. Also, much of the reason good tutorials don't exist is simply because no one in the community has taken the time to produce it.

A major use-case of Bonjour is wireless printing over the LAN, but your Windows machine can also use Bonjour to discover and connect with other devices on the :ref:`Local Network<lan>`. In this case your Embassy. If Windows were to add support for reaching ``.local`` addresses, as is done in Linux and Mac, this would no longer be necessary.

Recent updates to Windows 10 (and possibly 11) may obviate the need for Bonjour, but so far results are mixed.

Embassy is designed to work as simply as possible, for as many as possible, while providing the ability to self-host in a private manner. If you have an agressive or custom firewall, or other custom network settings, there is a good chance that addtional configuration may be necessary. We will continue to learn about custom networking issues, update our docs with resources, and help in the :ref:`Community Channels <contact>` to the best of our ability.

Can I use my Embassy from behind a VPN, for example, if my router has a built-in VPN?

While this is possible, it adds complexity, which may lead to problems. You will need to understand the setup of your router/VPN and how it supports (or doesn't support) Tor/LAN connections.
