Describe your issue

Hi,

I’ve tried installing new apps (Bookwyrm and Jellyfin) but since a couple days it fails with the same error everytime: open() "/etc/nginx/proxy_params_with_auth" failed (2: No such file or directory)

Regenerating nginx conf also didn’t help.

I can’t find anything about proxy_params_with_auth online, maybe someone can help out? Thanks.

Please, tell which apps you are installing in the request. (I can see Jellyfin in the logs).

Humm you are not on the last trixie flavor of yunohost… you should update

How do I do that? The Webadmin updater says everything is up to date.

I’ve successfully resolved the issue. Thanks for hinting at the yunohost upgrade.

Here’s what I did to solve it:

  • changed the yunohost source to testing as described here
  • ran into the same gpg problem. solved that as described here
  • updated YunoHost to 13.0.4
  • successfully installed Jellyfin
