What does the log show when it stops?

~/.bitcoin/debug.log

I should have checked. I just uninstalled it.

Not a bad idea. Sometimes it is easier to start fresh anyway.

Usually not necessary if you aren't running MICROS~1 software.

Last time this happened I spent days on forums, reading guides, etc, with no clear-cut answers. I did discover that I'm not the only one experiencing the issue.

Like nym said, first thing you need to look into logs. Both bitcoin and electrs. Sometimes bitcoin take long time to catch up the blocks and indexes from the moment you stop it to update. Electrs is waiting for bitcoin to finish and then it start its own index that also can take for a while. Meanwhile all other dependent services like LN node are just waiting.

Maybe you have a bad sector of that drive and is hanging. Maybe some new settings for new update you need to do, be aware of this PSA from LND guys, valid for core 28.0.1 with LND. https://xcancel.com/roasbeef/status/1842956355516223824

I guess it's possible that I didn't wait long enough, but it took a while to say "running", then it switched to "starting" about an hour later.

logs. You need logs, otherwise we are just guessing around.

Sorry. I got busy. I don't know if this helps:

Crashes with exit code 1 can sometimes be due to insufficient resources such as memory, CPU, or disk space.

You could try starting each app sequentially instead of all at once if possible with StartOS.

I tried StartOS and Umbrel a while back. They are nice it just always felt slow like I was working in a VM because it was slow, and I wasn't sure how everything worked in the background. Now I just recommend raw dogging it on a spare laptop running Debian, Bitcoin Core, Fulcrum or Electrs, and the wallet of your choice. And don't forget to install your firewall like gufw.

I'm sure you're right. I have to bite the bullet and just do it.

I understand being cautious. I mean we are talking about real money.

Bitcoin Core has a binary to install now and once the chain syncs the only thing you really need to adjust if needed is the bitcoin.conf file. The electrum server only usually that config file changed.
