    @RuneMason1 - can you please provide more logs? And, your device ID so that we can investigate?

    What was the error returned when trying to connect? Was it a timeout?

    @RuneMason1 Hi! We're interested in the logs from the unraid/docker side. You provided us with

    time=2025-05-11T05:19:44.242Z level=INFO msg="Connecting to MQTT broker" Attempt=7 URL=tls://v1.mqtt.orb.net:1883
    time=2025-05-11T05:19:44.242Z level=INFO msg="Backing off before retrying mqtt connection" RetryCount=7 Delay=12.795567414s URL=tls://v1.mqtt.orb.net:1883
    

    can you provide us with maybe the first minute of similar logs when you start an orb? I wonder if there are useful error messages in there explaining why the connection attempt failed. Also, one of the line will be something like

    2025/05/14 21:00:05 INFO Orb ID orbID=42pthx9hwdjmcb2v6v59eg5zaay3
    

    that orbId is the identifier used to connect to our servers, and maybe some of the server logs will tell us what kind connection issues we are running into here

    thanks!
