I updated the umbrel OS a month or so ago and my bitcoin node stopped syncing. I have tried deleting peers.dat file, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Bitcoin Node app and tried Bitcoin Knots.Both sync for a while and then eventually show 0 peers and stop syncing. Oddly, my Monero node has remained fully synced with no issues throughout this whole process. Any help would be greatly appreciated

How’s your disk space? I had to upgrade/migrate to a 2TB SSD even though Umbrel was reporting several dozen GB remaining, the Bitcoin Node logs were alluding to disk space issues.

I’m already using a 2 TB drive – i’ve got 1.42 TB remaining.

Generally seems to be network/connection related issues in the Bitcoin Node logs
