Stuck on Running Umbrel migrations

Hello,

I checked for update and started the update process. But now the node is stuck on “Running Umbrel migrations…” There is a clear message on the bottom that I cannot refresh the window of power off the node. But I have been waiting for 2 hours now. What to do?

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Farl

Thank you, I have contacted you on Telegram. And thank you for your help there Luke!

Seems like my SD card run out of storage. I needed to reflash the SD card with the new UmbrelOS.

Hey @mafzaal It’s due to a MicroSD card issue running out of room

The most reliable fix for this issue if you are on the Raspberry Pi 4 platform is to reflash your MicroSD card. If you have another one you can swap in, please try another card as well in case you have a failing card

SSH and run this command to safely shutdown: sudo shutdown

Unplug power and reflash your MicroSD card, then when complete plug in your power last and wait ~5 minutes

For reference, reflashing will not result in any data loss because all data is stored on your external storage drive (SSD or HDD).

To reflash your MicroSD card, follow the steps on the website under “Install on a Rasberry Pi 4.”

Thank you @usernameisJim your steps worked. Did Umbrel 0.5.4 update work after re-flashing?

when you reflash it does run through an automatic update so it’s safe to flash to most recent version even if you’re on the old one
