Umbrel startup: "Host is already in use by another container"

Support and Troubleshooting
1

When I start up umbrel on my raspberry pi, I can’t connect to it. I can see the local IP in Angry IP Scanner and when I try to access at http://umbrel, it holds and then says “this site can’t be reached”.

I can ssh into umbrel@umbrel, so I know it’s alive. Then I do ~/umbrel/scripts/debug --upload, as per the troubleshooting wiki. This prints out the startup logs, which show an error.

How can I resolve this? Logs below

power cycle Rasberry Pi.

then
Try http://umbrel.local/

or http://192.168.1.45/ (replace that IP with your node’s IP.)

At least that is what I would try.

I’ve tried restarting the pi and re-flashing the card multiple times each. When I turn the pi on, it then either (1) hangs, or (2) is accessible over ssh with the above log, always containing “Host is already in use by another container.”

Could it be that I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ rather than a Pi 4?

Could be.

Thanks, will try on a Pi 4.

Would be nice if the quickstart guide on the site had a little disclaimer saying it must be 4 or higher, otherwise you may assume that’s just a recommendation but not mandatory.
