Umbrel: Environment seamingly reset (dashboard doesn't recognize existing env correctly)

[kilrau]

I have umbrel running on my Pi4 4GB since v0.3.0 (currently 0.3.2) and after pressing install for all apps yesterday, I checked back in again today and what I see is:

I sshed in, all data seems still to be there and when I manually docker restart the dashboard container, the password field to log in flashes for a second, then above screen again.

Happy to help debugging.

Inside your umbrel directory, go to the db directory, and in it is a file called user.json
Does it start with a { like this?

If not, try to add one at the top, and restart. There is a bug open for it, and it causes what you have described above.

@lukechilds Another example that https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/pull/405 can happen on real installations sometimes. This is in my opinion a high priority issue as it can lead to users thinking they lost their sats and can render nodes useless if users don't know how to fix it.

Does it start with a { like this?

Yup:

{
  "name": "kilrau",
  "password": "elon",
  "seed": "pumping",
  "installedApps": [
    "btc-rpc-explorer",
    "btcpay-server",
    "specter-desktop"
  ]
}

}

Note how not all apps made it into the installedApps section even though I clicked all install buttons (yes I know...).

but you have an additional } at the bottom. remove that and try a restart, I think that is the same bug as above.

Ok thanks guys, I'll look into this as a priority this week.

That fixed it. Closing here as duplicate of https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/issues/403. Thanks for the fast replies guys! :pray:

@lukechilds @AaronDewes that confirms. I had it three times now. This is 4th.

@kilrau I guess you are not on Rasberry Pi (if you are, I think you are the first to encounter it on that)

I am (Pi4, 4GB RAM).
