Thanks, you are right and now it works fine. Since my node is already running on Umbrel now, I will look up how to use it on RPC.

<p>You can use RPC commands using bitcoin-cli bin for example</p>
<pre><code>~/umbrel/bin/bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

<p>I connected to my Umbrel full node from a terminal via SSH, and found that some of the bitcoin-cli commands don't return any value while others work fine. Some examples:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Working</strong> - help, getinfo, getbestblockhash, getblock</li>
<li><strong>Not working</strong> - getbalance, listunspent, getnewaddress</li>
</ul>
<p>When calling the &quot;Not working&quot; commands, there's no error message shown. I wonder what I'm missing? Here's what I use:</p>
<p>Umbrel v0.3.13</p>
<p>Windows PowerShell v1.0</p>
<p>RPC Client v0.21.1.0</p>

# RPC on Umbrel via SSH - some bitcoin-cli commands don't return value

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-06-29)

I connected to my Umbrel full node from a terminal via SSH, and found that some of the bitcoin-cli commands don't return any value while others work fine. Some examples:

* **Working** - help, getinfo, getbestblockhash, getblock
* **Not working** - getbalance, listunspent, getnewaddress

When calling the "Not working" commands, there's no error message shown. I wonder what I'm missing? Here's what I use:

Umbrel v0.3.13

Windows PowerShell v1.0

RPC Client v0.21.1.0

**Tags:** json-rpc, umbrel

You are missing a wallet on your Bitcoin Core.

Note all your "not working" commands are wallet related and all "working" ones are blockchain related.

You can use RPC commands using bitcoin-cli bin for example

```
~/umbrel/bin/bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo
~/umbrel/bin/bitcoin-cli getblock "00000000c937983704a73af28acdec37b049d214adbda81d7e2a3dd146f6ed09"

```
