Umbrel stuck on 0.24% sync

I’ve had my umbrel node for about 2 weeks now and it’s never moved passed syncing 0.24%. I’m not sure where to start with trying to fix it so haven’t tried anything specific yet.

You should go into the settings section on the dashboard and click on the troubleshoot section. That will generate logs and copy and paste that into some like pastebin and then post that link here. Without them nobody can really help you.

Sorry, I meant to add it but forgot. Here’s the pastebin

Thanks for sharing your debug-log.

Somehow Tor can’t establish a successful connection. It’s either (1) stuck from the software part or (2) from your ISP.
For the former (1), you could try mitigate with a soft reboot. Did you do a restart via UI > Settings already?
For the latter (2), it’s getting quite complex. Are you living in a country where the ISPs are blocking Tor? Let’s not dive into this yet, trying for test (1) before going about (2).

I’ve tried rebooting in the settings a couple times hoping something as simple as that could fix it but that hasn’t worked.

I’ve used Tor a few times before and never had issues with it being blocked so I’m not sure why it would block it now. On the UI it says its connected to Tor as well

I’m also not sure what could be causing this, but the logs are pointing at Tor not being able to successfully establish a connection to a bridge relay.

I’d wait until someone more knowledgable for Tor chiming in here. What I would do is deleting the Tor docker images and reinstalling it. Given that you barely started, I guess there isn’t much at risk to just start over. You might just consider reflashing your SD card and see if that changes the Tor section of the debug and sync picks up again.

See below where you’d need to keep an eye on whether it improves

Not a problem, I’ve reflashed the SD card before and it didn’t fix it so I’m not sure why its constantly an issue. I’ll try again and see how it goes. Thank you for you help

Any news? I have the “Problem bootstrapping” too on my recently installed Umbrel over a new Raspberry Pi 4.
I cant find any info about this problem anywhere.

I don’t know TOR well at all, but VPNs are very sensitive to time/timing and will not work if time is out of sync by very much. Your log showing 1/11 makes me wonder if the date being so far out (presuming your post is recent) of sync isn’t part of the issue you are having. Perhaps set the Pi clock somehow and try again?

Just a guess
