Hi  
I got the same issue and i’ve just solved it!  
I’ve first flashed the micro sd. But nothing changed.  
Then I followed this steps :

Step 1 - Enter using SSH into your Umbrel node:

Step 2 - stop Umbrel node with:

`cd umbrel`  
`sudo systemctl stop umbrel-startup`

Step 3 - clean / reconfigure the broken container:

`sudo rm .env` --\> got an error because .env did not existed. No probs  
`sudo ./scripts/configure`

Step 4 - apply latest Umbrel update (replace the version number with the latest):

`sudo ./scripts/update/update --repo getumbrel/umbrel#v0.5.0`

Restart your node:

UmbrelOS (RPi) use `sudo systemctl start umbrel-startup`

Worked fine for me! I hope it’s gonna help you  
Cheers  
Pierre
