@CaptainStealthy As this was awhile ago I don't remember the exact fix. IIRC, I ended up having to kill the entire cluster and start over, but I could be wrong on that.

At any rate, the most helpful thing I found was to join the TechnoTim discord server. They have guys that do this all the time and can really help you diagnose issues. They were instrumental in helping me. https://l.technotim.live/discord
