Lightning Node not starting

I need help. I lightning node has not been working right a few weeks then I first noticed all the channels drop off so I restarted. Then it had to sync bitcoin node. That was done but Lightning Node doesn’t spin up. I updated the firmware and restarted. Ride the Lighting seems to work and the Bitcoin Node but the Lightning Node is stuck on about 60%, Thnederhub couldn’t log in and LNDg shows an error. I tried force shutting down the Lightning Node via SSH but it says- Error: App “Lightning-node” is not installed yet
I am freaking out sats are lost as I am sure there were 50,000,000 and now RTL says 32. I am too much of a noob for this node business…

Kind of discouraging to not see other umbrel members jumping in to help. I’m pretty technical, but just getting into LND, are you a member of the plebnet group on Telegram? there’s a LOT more help there than what I see on this forum…

Hey thanks for the response! I ended up rebooting LND. I found some code that did the trick for SSH using Putty. Code is /home/umbrel/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning restart lnd
However, jumped on the node again today to see Lightning Node (lnd) stuck again and therefore other services like RTL had errors. I used the same code to reboot again and seems fine now. Not sure why lnd is just randomly getting stuck/stopping?.

Not sure about plebnet but did try the telegram Umbrel channel - https://t.me/getumbrel but ended up solving it as per above.
Is plebnet this one? https://t.me/plebnet

And again my lightning node crashes. I use the same */home/umbrel/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning restart lnd command via SSH using Putty to restart it. Not feeling confident about Umbrel.

Had the same issue. Restarting LND fixed it.
