Can't Connect to Bitcoin Node

As of late I haven’t been able to connect to my Bitcoin Node. I looking around I see the following.

ChatGPT tells me:
Thanks for the screenshot. The settings.json file is completely empty, which confirms that:

  • Some process is wiping it out entirely.
  • Umbrel’s middleware detects that as invalid JSON and overwrites it with {}.
  • This triggers a loop, repeating every few seconds.

I’ve reset my Umbrel Node and my BTC node is syncing up now.
