**Hello everyone,**

since I haven’t received any response to my email or my chat request on the Umbrel website for almost a week, I’m reaching out here.

Last week, I updated the respective apps on my Umbrel, and since then they have stopped working (see screenshot).

Can anyone help me get the apps running again?

I’d really appreciate any feedback or advice.

Thank you!

Oh,well. Im running Umbrel on a RPI5. So i dont know much about this hardware. But it seems that Umbrel is not running correct. Hanging anywhere. So the Container cannot start. I had a similar Issue and i found out, that my NVME SSD was not correct formated. I formated it with EXT4 for Linux and that was the trick. But in your case you did an update, right?

That’s right, after updating the Bitcoin app, for example, nothing worked anymore.

From what I have read so far, it is possible to fix the error with a single line in the terminal. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that.

- **For a Bitcoin Node Freeze:** If you are experiencing a Bitcoin node issue, you may need to remove the `peers.dat` file located within the Bitcoin app’s data directory to force it to re-establish connections. This is usually done by finding the file in the `umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/` directory.

- **Remove the file:** Use a command like `rm umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/peers.dat` to remove the file.

Now that I understand that, I’m wondering whether everything will be deleted. Whether the blockchain will need to be reloaded afterwards and the wallet will need to be recreated.

Would it be of any use to you if I sent you the troubleshooting guide or Bitcoin node protocol?
