Umbrel: Can't login via Tor browser

Created on 6 Nov 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: getumbrel/umbrel

Documenting this until it's fixed. Some users can't get past the login screen on a Tor-enabled browser (login button fades in and out endlessly).

Restarting Umbrel via the settings page (accessed via the local network on http://umbrel.local/settings or http://<ip-address>/settings) permanently fixes the issue and prevents it from happening again.

The reason why this happens is that on the first Umbrel run, dashboard's hidden service file doesn't exist, and thus the hidden service URL is not whitelisted by manager/middleware APIs for CORS. We can fix it by starting the manager/middleware containers after checking for existence of the hidden service file using a custom start script.

I am also having problems connecting my node remotely with Tor browser, but in my case I am getting "Not allowed by CORS" error.

@pcarballeda have you tried a restart (from http://umbrel.local/settings)?

I tried but when I hit restart it gets stuck on the screen where it tells me that it is restarting, I wait for hours and nothing happens.

On the other hand I am not able to install the latest update (0.2.15), the same thing happens, it gets stuck and nothing happens. It would be nice to incorporate some kind of feedback for users like a progress bar or similar.

Ah, looks like some background services aren't running. Could you please try a restart via SSH? That would probably fix all the issues.

ssh -t [email protected] "sudo reboot"

I have restarted the node by the less recommendable way (disconnect the current) and when restarting I have been able to do everything, thanks for the help. I write down the command for the next one. Thank you very much for answering so quickly!
