It’s weird that I get something different everytime I reboot. Now I can log into the umbrel through direct keyboard into the Raspberry Pi, but keep getting and input/output error if I try to get a log or try to look at any directories. ---

Got it back to synchronizing and I can get into the umbrel.local, but I can’t SSH into it again. I’m just going to let it run overnight and see what happens. The temperature is running high, too. ---

Couldn’t SSH in, but I was able to get a debug log through the umbrel software. [https://0bin.net/paste/RcvsRhwi#itrGhpZKR42sAiiRK8uKymlQiN3cZWxGaLa5XjDuOCi](https://0bin.net/paste/RcvsRhwi#itrGhpZKR42sAiiRK8uKymlQiN3cZWxGaLa5XjDuOCi) Seems to be having problems with bitcoin. ---

Better uninstall all apps, it is too much issues together for a humble Pi… ---

Uninstalled all the apps. What does this mean? bitcoin | Error: Failed loading settings file: bitcoin | - Unable to parse settings file /data/.bitcoin/settings.json New debug: [https://0bin.net/paste/JARm+L1X#9jAdUpXBg0n0DTcuhgP-FPFL2uIry5YGAEUL6EjZSCz](https://0bin.net/paste/JARm+L1X#9jAdUpXBg0n0DTcuhgP-FPFL2uIry5YGAEUL6EjZSCz) ---

Ok… I finally did this… cd /umbrel/bitcoin and nano settings.json And added { } into the settings.json file since it had nothing in it. Seems to be syncing now. [Previous page](https://community.umbrel.com/t/error-system-service-failed-after-running-umbrel-for-a-long-time/6988.md?page=1)
