[GUIDE] Connect Umbrel to your wallet
2

Ok, finally sorted this all out.. You cannot connect using the local network option.. only the Tor option seems to work.

  1. Ensure you enabled Tor in the Advanced Umbrel Settings

  2. Start your ElectrumX or Electrs app on Umbrel and let them sync

  3. Once sync’d, open the Umbrel ElectrumX or Electrs app and select Tor, you’ll see an app unique onion address, you’ll need this for your mobile electrum wallet. This is not the address provided for the Umbrel Advanced Settings Tor address.. the onion addresses are unique for each app (this was the part I was missing)

  4. Go to the Electrum Wallet App and click the blue/red dot to access the network information. Select Manual Server Selection then use the onion address you just found in the umbrel app and paste it into the network field for the Electrum Wallet, followed by a colon, the port specified by ElectrumX or Electrs, followed by a colon and a t (ie: blahblah.onion:50003:t). Then hit Ok

  5. Go to the Proxy settings and select Enable Proxy, SOCKS5/TOR, address 127.0.0.1 and port 9050. Then hit OK

  6. Exit Electrum Wallet and if you haven’t already, install Orbot. In Orbot choose Electrum as an app you want to use with Orbot. When that’s done, hit Connect

  7. Restart the Electrum Wallet app, wait a few moments and you should see the dot go from red to blue.

Again, the pieces I was missing were the Umbrel app specific onion address and needing to run Orbot on the mobile device. Suspect it’s much the same for running the desktop wallet.
