So I’ve had my pi5 umbrel btc node running for a few weeks now. It’s been a bit of a challenge, however, but I think I may have figured out WHY it keeps disconnecting!
So I’ve now done 6 fresh installs, with 3 full btc core downloads. I’ve had the experience, where it’s running just fine, I go to sleep, wake up in the morning - only to find that it’s unresponsive. This forces me to have to do a hard reset (on pi physical button).
What I’ve noticed is that every time it’s done this, and I restart piOS, there’s always an update waiting to be downloaded/installed. So that’s where I’m at, and I’m going to try this (as presented here:https://www.seancarney.ca/2021/02/06/secure-your-raspberry-pi-by-enabling-automatic-software-updates/):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades
sudo unattended-upgrade -d -v --dry-run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low unattended-upgrades
Hopefully, this does the trick and helps anyone else having similar issues.
I can’t test it until my node/wallets are finished doing some tasks that may take a while, and I can’t risk another glitch…
Please chime in if anyone sees a problem with following through with these commands.
Cheers!
