Bitcoin node is stuck "starting..."

Support and Troubleshooting

Fixed it:

  1. login ssh

  2. docker ps

  3. search for ID of image “getumbrel/bitcoind:v24.0.1”

  4. docker logs $ID

This showed me smt regarding a corrupted file peers.dat…

To fix it, I did this two commands:

$ mv /mnt/data/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/peers.dat /mnt/data/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/peers.dat.backup

and

$ mv /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/peers.dat /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/peers.dat.backup

Then restarted umbrel via UI.
