Yes, just bought a new one (about £7) and started it up with that after flashing the latest version of the OS on to it. I didn’t realise that only the OS is on the card, the important stuff is on the drive, so flashing a new card gets all back to normal provided the hard drive is ok, which mine is. Only downside for me is that my lightning node was down for 3 days and I got one of my channels force closed on me.
Shit, sorry to hear that. Hope you get new channels up and running.
I’ve ordered an SD, delivered tomorrow, hopefully minimise downtime
Thanks again
It’s all ok, didn’t lose any funds apart from a very small mining fee.

thanks.solved my problem
I started using Umbrel nearly a year ago. I rarely experienced any issues. I recently lost power and now the browser shows “Error: Failed to start containers”. I bought a new microSD card and flashed it with the most recent Umbrel OS, but still receive the error. I am able to ssh to the device and see that there are errors, but I am not sure what to try next to start the containers. Here is my debug file. I appreciate any advice, links, or suggestions you can provide. Thank you for your time and consideration.

==== Result ====
The debug script did not automatically detect any issues with your Umbrel.
Connection to umbrel.local closed.
I attempted the following solution.
You have error that a specific Umbrel App do not start or it keeps staying in “installing”, maybe the docker container for that app it wasn’t installed correctly or it hangs.
Step 1 - Enter using SSH into your Umbrel node:
Step 2 - stop Umbrel node with:
cd umbrel
sudo ./scripts/stop
Step 3 - clean / reconfigure the broken container:
sudo rm -f .env && sudo ./scripts/configure
Step 4 - Restart your node:
sudo ./scripts/start
However, when I run Step 3, I receive the error.
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
See ‘docker run --help’.
From that point, I am not sure what I should do from the help file to get the docker daemon running.
I continued to step 4 and this happened.

Same issue. How to fix this?
Thank you. Worked for me.
Hey louneskmt, I have tried all the steps above getting the same " Error: Failed to start containers" error when booting. I re-flashed my sd card with Umbrel OS and still get same error, please, see log here Really appreciate you taking a look:)
I also had the same problem and can confirm following the steps in post #7 worked 
I had to reflash the O/S onto the SD card first, but once done following the SSH commands worked a treat
Thank you 21isenough!
Thanks - solved this
Hi,
I can confirm that steps are working even for umbrel v 0.5.4.
I followed steps, but before that I would add Step 0 which is reflash umbrelos on a brand new microSD card and the use umbrel original password for ssh (moneyprintergobrrr) and then follow steps as written by @OpenWaterSwim.
Thank you community for help.
when i try to run the “sudo rm -f .env && sudo ./scripts/configure” I get the following:
docker: Error response from daemon: open /var/lib/docker/overlay2/d4467a12718b341182b314a283b0806d9e43cd85fa39dee8086c978925513cf9/committed: no such file or directory.
See ‘docker run --help’.
not sure what is happening here. any thoughts??
Have you hadany luck in resolving this? I continue to get the error message…
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.

I have the same thing. Any luck out there?
I tried multiple items to get it to work. The thing that worked was a resync of the Blockchain. Sucked, but I made sure to have my seed words, wiped the drive, then reflashed the image. Let the node sync 100% then entered my seed phrase in Lightning Node app to recover my funds and that was that.
