# Fix BTCPay via Hostinger Console Access Since SSH access isn't working, use the Hostinger web console: ## Step 1: Access Hostinger Console 1. Go to https://hpanel.hostinger.com/ 2. Login to your Hostinger account 3. Find VPS server: srv1002428.hstgr.cloud 4. Click on the server 5. Look for "Console" or "VNC Console" or "Browser Terminal" 6. Click to open web-based terminal ## Step 2: Login via Console ``` Username: ubuntu Password: (the one you set during hardening) OR if that doesn't work: Username: root Password: Th3fa1r13sd1d1t. ``` ## Step 3: Diagnose the Issue Run these commands to see what's wrong: ```bash # Become root if logged in as ubuntu sudo su - # Check container status docker ps -a | grep -E "btcpay|nginx|postgres" # Look for stopped containers docker ps -a | grep Exited ``` ## Step 4: Fix Based on What You Find ### If BTCPay container is "Exited": ```bash # Start it docker start generated_btcpayserver_1 # Check logs for why it crashed docker logs generated_btcpayserver_1 --tail 100 ``` ### If Postgres is "Exited": ```bash # Start database first docker start generated_postgres_1 # Wait 10 seconds sleep 10 # Then start BTCPay docker start generated_btcpayserver_1 ``` ### If all containers are running but still 502: ```bash # Full restart cd /opt/btcpayserver-docker ./btcpay-restart.sh # Wait 2 minutes for services to fully start sleep 120 # Check status docker ps ``` ### If containers keep crashing: ```bash # Check disk space df -h / # If disk is full (>90%): docker system prune -a --volumes # WARNING: Type 'y' carefully - this removes unused data # Check memory free -h # If memory is low (<500MB free): systemctl restart docker ``` ## Step 5: Nuclear Option - Rebuild If nothing works: ```bash # Stop everything cd /opt/btcpayserver-docker docker-compose down # Restart with fresh build source /opt/.env ./btcpay-setup.sh -i ``` ## Step 6: Monitor the Fix ```bash # Watch containers starting watch docker ps # In another console tab, monitor logs docker logs -f generated_btcpayserver_1 ``` ## What to Look For in Logs **Good signs:** - "BTCPay Server started" - "Listening on port" - "Connected to NBXplorer" **Bad signs:** - "Cannot connect to database" - "Port already in use" - "Out of memory" - "No space left on device" ## If Database is Corrupted ```bash # Last resort - reset database (loses data!) docker-compose down docker volume rm generated_postgres_datadir ./btcpay-setup.sh -i ``` ## Re-enable SSH Access While in console, fix SSH: ```bash # Re-add your SSH key for ubuntu user mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/.ssh echo "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIDoUnUn5wsJyelx5NAzP1lrcTBKAV93m8R1hlR0ZU07Z vps-hardening-20250910" > /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /home/ubuntu/.ssh chmod 700 /home/ubuntu/.ssh chmod 600 /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys # Restart SSH systemctl restart sshd ``` Then test from your local machine: ```bash ssh -p 2255 -i vps_hardening_key ubuntu@thebankofdebbie.giize.com ```
