IBD never ends, keeps reverting back

Let’s clear some aspects:

  1. Please don’t post directly here all the logs, copy/paste. Is terrible to read like that. Use instead 0bin.net or pastebin. 0bin is better because it keeps formatted the text. Post here only the link to that 0bin log. Is nothing that can compromise your privacy in those logs.
  2. Read for yourself the logs. Try to learn them and understand them. Will help you a lot for future use. Is not so hard to read and see what is happening. You don’t need to be a coder to read that. Just pay attention.
  3. sometimes only the excerpt from the general debug log is NOT enough. So start running separate logs for each main modules of your node: bitcoin, lnd, electrs, tor So you will obtain more details.
    See the Umbrel troubleshooting manual about those commands and many more items that can help you identify and diagnose your issue.
  4. Most of the issues of not sync comes from BAD HARDWARE. This is very serious and many users do not want to accept it. But in 99% cases is from that.
  5. Consider also assigning a static IP to your node. That will fix a lot of connectivity issues. You can find the guide how to do that in the Guides section of this forum and many other good guides.
