Requesting help: Electrs not starting, keeps cycling

StartOS Support
1

I’m on a Mac Mini, Intel, Sequoia 15.6.1
Server One shows that everything is up to date. Bitcoin Core 29.1.0 and Health check is good
But, on the dashboard, under Services, on the top right, Electrs keeps churning and does not seem to start. The blue wheel keeps churning.

I’ve restarted the Server One, but still having issues.

Also, in the Market Place, under Community Registry, it says that Bitcoin Knots is installed (in blue letters). I do not remember installing it. With all the current controversy I was interested and thought to look if it was available, found it in Community Registry and it showed “installed”.

I mention Knots in case it may be part of the problem. In Knots, when I click View Install, it takes me to Bitcoin Core. I’m assuming that Knots integrates with Core??

Please advise.

You can read more about why Knots and Core both look like they’re installed here.

As for Electrs, are you sure Bitcoin is in a good state? Is it really just Electrs that isn’t working right? Normally when Electrs isn’t working it’s because of Bitcoin.

If it is just Electrs, you may want to look in Electrs → Logs for the exact error and let us know here. We can then suggest a solution.
