100% synched Umbrel Pi node running extremely slow

BitcoinZAR · May 17, 2024, 11:05am

My Umbrel node on Raspberry Pi is extremely slow. Raspberry Pi 4, UmbrelOS 1.1

I have the latest Umbrel software installed, and the node is 100% synched, but even just to log onto the node takes minutes, and just to display the apps loaded takes a couple minutes. To open any app takes a minute or two at least. Anything I do takes minutes, from just viewing available apps, to switching to settings panel takes ages.
I thought it might be the Umbrel version and install so have completely redone that by downloading the latest version and flashing the card with the new one.
I have it directly plugged into the router to rule out Wifi issues.

I only have a few apps running, namely: Bitcoin Node, Blue Wallet Lighting, Electrs, Lightning Node, LNBits, and Ride the Lightning.

CPU is at 50% (4 threads) and Temperature is around 30c (There is a fan), 8GB memory with 4GB free, and 1.5TB disk space free.

Here is the debug log:

PLEASE can someone help me to fix this because Umbrel and the apps are unusable for me right now, its just far too slow to do anything. Does anyone have any suggestions or hints?

BitcoinZAR · May 18, 2024, 7:51am

Is there two versions of Umbrel running or something? I see it says Version 0.5.4, but in the Umbrel web interface I am running UmbrelOS 1.1…could this be the issue?

smolgrrr · May 18, 2024, 11:43am

Yes that is very strange. Just to confirm, you followed these exact steps? How to update to umbrelOS 1.0

BitcoinZAR · May 19, 2024, 7:21am

Yes, I removed the microSD card and used balena etcher to flash it.
When I open umbrel in the web interface it shows the correct version and says there is no update…

ragnorosso · May 19, 2024, 2:36pm

try to stop all other app and verify “max upload target”

BitcoinZAR · May 20, 2024, 9:05am

Do you mean in SSH? I will try stop all apps, but not sure how to verify max upload target…is there a command for that?

BitcoinZAR · May 20, 2024, 11:57am

I removed some apps, and did a debug via SSH, and get this output:

Just my two cents: My umbrel was taking forever to sync (over 4 days when the normal time is less than 3 days), so I erased the disk with gparted, parted again, make a full disk check and then installed umbrelOS again and it went faster the bitcoin core syncing.

BitcoinZAR · May 21, 2024, 6:13am

The node is 100% synched, it has nothing to do with that, it is the actual node running slowly. It takes about 5 minutes just to put in the 2FA when logging in, and if I open an app, it takes another 5 minutes just to open the screen. Everything is incredibly slow, but it is 100% synched and up to date with latest software.
