Infinite "Your computer is starting up the blockchain"

[Teatimes-Official]

I have everything downloaded and ports open. I flip the switch to turn the node on, and I am stuck on the "Your computer is strting up the blockchain" indefinitely. I have tried clearing the data through troubleshooting, but to no avail. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Having the same issue. In the logs on docker all I'm getting repeatedly is "Waiting for postgres to be available..."

I managed to fix this a couple of days ago, actually. I had to go into the Pi app and add the "Developers" chat. They directed me to the port testing tool on the Pi site and the mods FAQ section of that chat. I made sure my ports were indeed open, and then reinstalled Docker Desktop with the extra instructions in the Developer's chat. Hope this helps!

Update windows.

FWIW, I had to edit my user-preferences.json (forgot to make a note of which folder so just do a search for the file, think it’s in an app data>roaming folder):

{"windowWidth":800,"windowHeight":600,"uuid":"9dd0131b-83f8-4648-81e8-83334fddacdc","switchStatus":true,"dockerImage":"pinetwork/pi-node-docker:latest","portsCheckPassed":true,"containerFlavor":"stellar","testnetResetCount":"2","stellarConfigVersion":"0.0.9","testnetLatestNodeUIVersion":"0.4.4","horizonStatusPreference":false,"stellarSecretSeed":"NODE_PRIVATE_KEY"}

node private key got replaced with an actual key after restarting. The first time, it took a long time, like many days, to just get connected to the test net, then all was good until HD crashed. After installing on another pc, I started having problems, after this edit it started working, but it took a while, at times I still lag behind the latest block.

My node pc is packed up for moving right now so can’t check. But the above edit to the json file fixed it for me.
