I have Umbrel OS 1.2.2 running on a Raspberry Pi 5 and bitcoin node is 100% synced.  
However, Electrum appears to be dead - no CPU and it just says “Waiting for bitcoin node to finish syncing” - there’s no progress indicated. I’ve waited the 24 hours that people recommend - no dice.

Can someone help me out here? What is going on with Electrum in this context? I have tried restarting and reinstalling a few times.

Here’s the 4 electrum docker containers:  
umbrel@umbrel:~/umbrel$ sudo docker container ls -a  
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

d24473439bed getumbrel/tor:0.4.7.8 “tor” 3 minutes ago Up 3 minutes electrs\_tor\_1

And here’s the error I’m getting for this one (2a9f90fd3169 getumbrel/electrs:v0.10.6):

This appears to be failing repeatedly.
