Hi team,

after a restart of the UmbrelOS 1.1.1 i get this message at opening portainer.  
But i can login.

When i try to open the container section: environment is unreachable  
What can i do? ☹

Thanks!

In portainer the environment is shown as down.  
Docker ps show docker:24.0.5-dind restarting all the time.  
Could that be the problem?

In the logs:

This file does not exist.

The issue comes back after a restart of umbrel.  
Seems to be a Bug.
