Can someone please take a look at this error log and let me know if there’s anything I can do? Bitcoin Node app was stuck on starting, tried to reindex and now it’s stuck on running and not synching. I’m running Umbrel on their Home hardware device.

okay i followed the instructions to force a reindex and it’s doing that now so hopefully that fixes the problem
