Trying to install the bitcoin app onto an RPI4. UmbrelOS 0.5.4 ; 2TB SSD connected.  
Stuck ‘Installing’ for over 3 hours.

```

Seems to be a problem connecting to [registry-1.docker.io](http://registry-1.docker.io)  
Tried pinging [google.com](http://google.com) and that works as expected.

Tried reflashing UmbrelOS onto another SD card but same issue.

Any idea how I can install the bitcoin app?

Do you happen to be running the Umbrel behind a VPN?

It should just take a couple minutes to install the app. I would suggest trying the manual install process again.

1. Open a terminal window on your computer. On macOS, you can open the Terminal app that’s installed by default on every Mac. On Windows, you can open Command Prompt or the PowerShell app.
2. Type in the following command `ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local` and press the `Enter` key:  
\*In the command given above, you can replace `umbrel.local` with the local IP of your Umbrel if you prefer. If you are using PowerShell on Windows 10, you may need to run `ssh umbrel@umbrel` instead of the command given above.
3. Run `sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/app install bitcoin`

I’m not behind a VPN.

Just installed the previous version of UmbrelOS (0.5.3) and that has installed bitcoin core successfully.

So it appears that something has been introduced in 0.5.4. that my RPI4/network doesn’t like.

I’ll stick with 0.5.3 for now. Thanks for your help.

Hopefully this was resolved for you, but I found in the end the fix for this issue in case anyone else comes by this thread.

1. Open a terminal window on your computer. On macOS, you can open the Terminal app that’s installed by default on every Mac. On Windows, you can open Command Prompt or the PowerShell app.
2. Type in the following command `ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local` and press the `Enter` key:  
3.In the command given above, you can replace `umbrel.local` with the local IP of your Umbrel if you prefer. If you are using PowerShell on Windows 10, you may need to run `ssh umbrel@umbrel` instead of the command given above.
3. Run `sudo systemctl restart docker`
