Any idea why Umbrel on the RPi4 crashes and needs a hard reset every morning?

Every night this thing is crashing and becoming more hassle than it’s worth maintaining lol it’s a solid OS though.

I know this is a bad answer, but RPI's kinda suck for running nodes these days. I'd suggest, if you have the inclination/time/money, getting a cheap i3-class x86_64 box (like a ThinkStation in the small form factor) and migrating over to that instead. I believe Umbrel makes it easy, but when I made the switch from a Pi to a ThinkStation myself recently I also switched over to Start9.

I was between Start9 and Umbrel but leaned towards Umbrel because of it’s small footprint and HW requirements - and coming from a DietPi it was a breeze getting set up and going but ironically more problematic as far as stability right now.

Thanks for those suggestions! ThinkStation/S9 may be a new pivot as that sounds like a bit more of a stable/reliable rig - the small footprint of the RPi is just so dang appealing.
