If your umbrelOS logs show an error message that reads “failed to start containers”, follow these steps:
- Restart your Umbrel server from settings.
- If the problem persists, connect to your Umbrel server by following the instructions in How to SSH into umbrelOS on Umbrel Home or Rasberry Pi or by accessing a terminal on your Linux machine.
- Run the following command:
sudo systemctl stop docker && sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker/* && sudo reboot
This will stop and reset your docker service files and then it will reboot your device, which may take several minutes.
