Hello, Did you solve your issue? I get the same by adding a catalog in cluster scope, Rancher 2.5.8 too. Thanks ---

I’m struggling with the same issue! Rancher keeps restarting, it makes it totally useless ☹ Also v2.5.8 ---

To fix this, just run below commands on your rancher node where teh docker is running docker exec -it \ bash Then inside the running rancher docker, remove the specific .lock file which is shown in error and it should work fine ### cd ‘/var/lib/rancher-data/local-catalogs/v2/rancher-charts/4b40cac650031b74776e87c1a726b0484d0877c3ec137da0872547ff9b73a721/.git" then rm index.lock #### after this, no error are cropping up in the racnher running docker. ---

Thank you 3 year old post for saving my morning. Simple problems can be a big deal when you are over tired.
