Ask the community¶

Include:
- the device role and model;
- the guide and step where you stopped;
- what you expected;
- what happened instead;
- the Canada or local setting name, without secrets;
- any error text after removing sensitive values.
Stop before retrying when¶
- the next step would erase data you have not backed up;
- the hardware is hot, damaged, wet, or wired unexpectedly;
- you would lose the only way to reach a remote node;
- a local operator says the proposed settings conflict with the mesh.
