#RedUbrellaOfDeath

GM Umbrel NodeRunners.

Something happened recently that triggered an issue causing some Umbrel Nodes to not boot properly.

There have been three cases in the last 24 hours. Reason unknown.

Looking at the logs will help. I've fixed a number of these red boot screen issues. The worst thing I can remember was some libraries needed to be removed and reinstalled to fix Docker.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

Any thoughts on what libraries to remove?

I believe I talked about it here on Nostr or was over Telegram? Let me look and see if I can find what I had done to fix it for someone else in the past.

I would really appreciate it.

I have tried a lot of things so far. So any tip will be helpful. 🙏

My umbrel almost never works. Kinda tired of messing with it tbh. Just going to run core.

Same thing happened with me. The equipment they recommend to build your umbrel with only affords you to run core and nothing else that is offered in their app marketplace.

If its running on a Pi stop using Pi. They are unreliable.

This and use StartOS.

This is just a hobby, I’m willing to deal with these issues, I can’t afford throwing $100 of dollars at this.

Not sure if it’s easy to move from Umbrel to StartOS.

Yea man, startOS has a migration feature for asylum seekers leaving the sinking island of umbro.

Maybe that saves my node. I’ll look into it later today.

Buy cheaped used Dell or HP Online and throw bigger drive in it. Flash StartOS. Profit.

Easily done on yhe cheap.

Buy one of mine, I’ll help you transition over.

Yes :( finding the hard way
