I’m getting really tired of this. I thought “upgrading” my hardware to an Umbrel Home would fix access issues. I guess I wasted my money. I am consistently unable to access Umbrel 2-4 times a month and have to force shutdown. I’ve tried to SSH with no response, different browsers to locate issues, and nothing works. I guess I’ll just continue to risk my hardware by force shutting down with the power button.
Could you maybe describe your issues in more detail?
I also have an Umbrel Home, and it’s definitely an upgrade over the Raspberry Pi in my experience. I’ve been using it for over a year without any issues.
Maybe we can pinpoint the cause and find a suitable solution for you.
Every now and then I have to physically restart my Umbrel as I am unable to load the homepage. It becomes unresponsive even when I try to connect via SSH. Sometimes I’ll just leave it alone to see if it fixes itself, but it just stays down. CPU and memory usage is low, sitting under 50% easily and temperature is sitting normal. I used to experience this often when I had my RPi4. Now, for the last couple of months, it’s kicking off again. I’m suspecting it’s the latest update.
This shouldn’t actually be the case…
If you haven’t tried this yet, setting a static IP address for your Umbrel Home on your router might help stabilize the connection. This can prevent potential conflicts or drops that might be causing the device to become unresponsive.
After setting the static IP, if you’re still experiencing issues, you could also try checking the logs after rebooting to see if there’s any indication of what’s causing the problem.
What hardware are you running on? If there is bad memory, you could run into failures like this
I have exactly the same, but not on a physical hardware. I am using a VM on Hyper-V server with ECC memory.
2-3 times a month Umbrel 1.2.2 gets completely unresponsive, no access via SSH, Webinterface is not loading (timeout), on the VM console I can enter the username, but then it is completely stuck. Only a reset helps then.
THis is really annoying as I have a lot of Lightning channels open, my monitoring does a port probe on the Lightning port, but it still reacts or establishes a connection, and show it is still working while its actually not, as no LN traffic is answered.
Memory is always enough 1,2GB from 6GB available. Not running many apps. only Bitcoin Core, LN, LNbits, Thunderhub, Electrs, RPC Explorer, LN+
Anyone could tell what to look out for in the logs?
