Bitcoin Core no longer working

Hi there. Hopefully someone can help me.

I recently updated both bitcoin Core to v28 and Electrs.

Since then electrs was stuck at “connecting to Electrs server” and my Bitcoin Core was stuck at “Starting…”

I managed to get it co completely re-sync after restarting the app, however it has dropped out again and I can no longer get it to work. I have tried some troubleshooting via ssh with the help of a LLM but no luck so far (I’m a bit of a luddite).

My main concern is that I have some open lightning channels on my lightning node so don’t want to lose those funds.

Can anyone guide me in how to get things back on track?

Cheers

It happened to me several times, Electrs seems to break Knots. Currently I’m looking for a way to run Electrs on another device.
