Hello, I am trying to follow the installation guide on upgrading my Umbrel from 0.5.4 to 1.0 using this guide: https://community.umbrel.com/t/how-to-update-from-umbrelos-0-5-to-umbrelos-1-1-on-linux-devices/16704
I have a full bitcoin node installed and the migration tool is asking me to get a 700gb usb drive. Is there a way the entire blockchain can be ignored and I can migrate my apps and just download the blockchain again?

You can try setting "Prune blockchain" in Bitcoin Node's settings to the minimum, save the configuration and the blockchain will be reduced to a smaller size. (After the migration you can disable blockchain pruning redownloading the entire chain)
