Pi4 1TB issues with Web UI access

Support and Troubleshooting
1

Hi everyone, I’ve left my umbrel pi4 node for about 6 months as it was just running bitcoin core in the background happily with no issues. Managed to log in recently and noted that the SSD was full, tried to update to the latest OS and it couldn’t due to full SSD.

I’ve tried to access the web UI on the same network and can’t seem to get in at all, tried using umbrel.local and the 192.268.x.x local address and still no luck. I can however ssh in with no issues, the SDD seems to be full, but this should not stop me from accessing the web UI? The pi4 is connected via Ethernet and I’m attempting to access it on the same network with an Ethernet cable into my thinkpad, which I can use to SSH in fine.

Any ideas on how to access the web UI again? Should I reflash the SD card?

SD card is a really bad choice of media for an OS. But a Pi4 wasn’t designed to be a full computer either. I would suggest getting at cheap mini computer as they cost as much as setting up a Pi4 for a computer plus the Pi4’s USB ports are not USB compliant and you have to run a powered hub to reliably run a USB drive of any real size you need for a node (2TB).
