Error: lock /config/ipfs/repo.lock: someone else has the lock

I am also unable to load the main page. I get could not connect to ipfs api. I have run the commands as suggested but this did not work.

{
  "API": {
    "HTTPHeaders": {
      "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": [
        "PUT",
        "POST"
      ],
      "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": [
        "http://192.168.1.17:8081",
        "http://localhost:3000",
        "http://127.0.0.1:5001",
        "https://webui.ipfs.io",
        "http://unraid.mywebsiste.com:8081"
      ]
    }
  },

Where am I going wrong here?
This is being run on an unraid docker.

# Could not connect to the IPFS API

Check out the installation guide in the [IPFS Docs](https://docs.ipfs.io/install/command-line-quick-start/), or try these common fixes:

1. Is your IPFS daemon running? Try starting or restarting it from your terminal:

ANY SHELL

`$ ipfs daemon` `Initializing daemon...` `API server listening on /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001`

2. Is your IPFS API configured to allow [cross-origin (CORS) requests](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-webui#configure-ipfs-api-cors-headers)? If not, run these commands and then start your daemon from the terminal:

UNIX & MACOSWINDOWS POWERSHELLWINDOWS CMD

`$ ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Origin '["http://192.168.1.17:8081", "http://localhost:3000", "http://127.0.0.1:5001", "https://webui.ipfs.io"]'` `$ ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Methods '["PUT", "POST"]'`

3. Is your IPFS API on a port other than 5001? If your node is configured with a [custom API address](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/config.md#addresses), enter it here.

The error in the first part looks as if a previous run crashed leaving the repo.lock file in place. Try removing the lock with the command “rm /config/ipfs/repo.lock” before running the ipfs daemon again.
