I’m not all that familiar with the bitcoin-app logs, but I’m not seeing anything that indicates that bitcoind is not running as intended. Can you try connecting via RPC using bitcoin-cli?

This isn’t ideal, but it will tell us if bitcoind is operating properly, and maybe get some traction on this issue.

sudo umbrel/bin/bitcoin-cli/bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=<rpc user> -rpcpassword=<rpc-password> getnetworkinfo

I think that command should work, because according to your logs, the default rpc port is open, and localhost is allowed.

I receive the error no such file.

Thats probably because I put bitcoin-cli twice from the looks of it. Sorry about that!

sudo umbrel/bin/bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=<rpc user> -rpcpassword=<rpc-password> getnetworkinfo

What umbrel os version are you on? I am on the latest 1.2.2. It gives a deprecation warning but maybe it’s because I’m using an x86 VM image.

What do you see when you run ls -lah umbrel/bin?

Chiptuner, thank you for the help. I get the command not found. Running 1.2.2 However, I found an error that says the index needed to be reindexed so I went down that road. It is starting now. Thank you so much for your willingness to help.

Well it was at least some place to start. Not a problem. Good catch, I completely missed it!

Error: txindex: best block of the index not found. Please rebuild the index.

Edit:
I feel really silly now. I looked right at it when you first uploaded your logs, it just didn’t register.
