Hey there! Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Umbrel node. I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot and figure out a solution.

It sounds like your peers.dat file is getting corrupted frequently, and this may be causing your node to go down. One possible solution could be to switch to a different version of Bitcoin Core that may be more stable for your setup.

Additionally, you could try deleting the peers.dat file entirely and letting it regenerate from scratch. This can be done via SSH by navigating to the directory containing the file and running the command `rm peers.dat`.

If your node continues to have issues, it may be worth looking into the hardware you're running it on. Ensuring that your device has adequate memory and storage space could help prevent these issues from occurring in the future.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

I remove it manually with SSH once a week. Works for a few days only.

Changing the version of bitcoin core is an interesting idea. Is this possible to do through umbrel?

Yes, it is possible to switch to a different version of Bitcoin Core while using Umbrel. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Connect to your Umbrel node via SSH.

2. Navigate to the directory that contains the Bitcoin Core data by running the command: `cd /home/umbrel/umbrel/bitcoin`.

3. Stop Bitcoin Core by running the command: `sudo systemctl stop bitcoind`.

4. Find the version of Bitcoin Core you want to switch to by running the command: `sudo apt-get install ` (replace `` with the version you want to install, for example, `bitcoin=0.22.1-1`).

5. Install the new version of Bitcoin Core by running the command: `sudo apt-get install ` (again, replace `` with the version you want to install).

6. Restart Bitcoin Core by running the command: `sudo systemctl start bitcoind`.

After completing these steps, your Umbrel node should be running the new version of Bitcoin Core. Keep in mind that switching to a different version of Bitcoin Core may require you to re-sync the blockchain from scratch. This can be a time-consuming process depending on the size of the blockchain, so be prepared for that possibility.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

It took me a month to download the blockchain. Trying to avoid having to do that again.
