Noticed today that Bitcoin Core 26.0.0. is not syncing and giving me the following error:
" Error: can only create exec sessions on running containers: container state improper"
Anyone experiencing anything similar and/or has any tips on how to troubleshoot?
You can check Bitcoin logs and look for Peers.dat corrupted. If you find this you can preform Bitcoin → Actions → Delete Peers List and see if it helps.
If deleting the peers.dat file doesn’t remedy this, then the container has probably otherwise gotten itself into a muddle. In which case a System Rebuild would be in order. You can do this by going to System, then right at the bottom System Rebuild in the StartOS main UI.
A look at the logs for Bitcoin should reveal some more clues.
(You should also taking into consideration any potential setup that could cause this, like running an external SSD on a RPi without separate power.)
