Electrs stuck after updating to Umbrel Home

Support and Troubleshooting
1

I recently upgraded from running UmbrelOS on a Raspberry Pi to one of the Umbrel Home devices. I’ve had the pi-based Umbrel running a Bitcoin Core node for a few years now, which has worked fine, and I have been using Electrs to connect my wallets to the node. That one is still working fine, albeit a bit slow given the hardware and USB3-connected SSD.

After receiving my new Umbrel Home, I got that set up and have completed the IBD using Bitcoin Knots, which is now showing 100% synchronized. However, my Electrs app on this node is stuck at “Connecting to Electrs server…” When I installed the Electrs app, I selected Knots as the node app.

Any ideas for how I can get Electrs to work correctly so that I can connect my wallets to this new node?

Bumping this because I’d like to be able to use the Umbrel Home that I purchased. Still no success getting Electrs to work and become accessible to my wallets. If I right-click the app and look at the app logs, these seem to be the relevant lines:

electrs_electrs_1 | Error: electrs failed
electrs_electrs_1 |
electrs_electrs_1 | Caused by:
electrs_electrs_1 | 0: failed to open bitcoind cookie file: /data/.bitcoin/.cookie
electrs_electrs_1 | 1: Permission denied (os error 13)
