Fantastic easy to follow guide. Minimal confusion my end with the Personal Electrum Server instruction but figured it out eventually. Much appreciated.

I followed the steps and there was nothing saying I haven’t successfully connected my Green Wallet to my Umbrel Node, but how do I verify this? There was nothing that indicates I’ve actually got a wallet connected to my node (see screen shot). Furthermore, by following the steps above, how does entering :50001 actually link the wallet to my node?

Hi Lounès,

Thank you for your information about how to connect Blockstream Green to Electrs on Umbrel with TOR.

I have a question about another step. If I would like to connect to Blockstream Green to Electrs on Umbrel without TOR in local network or tailscale local network environment. If you have any idea on this, please kindly let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers.

Tommy

My Umbrel node has been running great for a few weeks. I could not connect Green via my Trezor (it tried to connect, but never did) or pers. Electrum server. Curious why the Umbrel test icon shown in the instructions above did not show up on my Green screen. Played around with in for a couple hours. Thanks for any advice.

I installed and used Electrum server app (Electrs) and used that onion address on Electrs app UI.

Did you manage to connect Green to Electrs on Umbrel over Tailscale?
I have tried everything but it keep saying that can’t find the server. Any ideas?

How does following these directions connect my node to my Green wallet? There is no indication of the wallet being connected to my node after following these directions.

I did the same thing and I have no indication that my Green wallet is connected.
