I see than your error is related to a missing file. Try to run this command via SSH: sudo touch /var/log/nginx/error.log.

woohoo we’re back in!
I actually just needed to create the folder ie `sudo mkdir /var/log/nginx/

sudo mkdir /var/log/nginx/error.log.

Uh yeah mkdir is gonna create a directory named error.log. As @ukispoo said, just need to create /var/log/nginx

Though what’s puzzling is that it should have been created during nginx install automatically

not sure what happened, manual install on an odroid c2 with armbian that had been previously running homeassistant using ‘curl https://install.yunohost.org | bash’
that went fine but after I rebooted the problems started…
I’ve had to manually create log files for fail2ban, redis-server and rspamd services too
now it thinks adguard is installed but it isn’t…persevering lol
but I like the look of it, nice easy to use interface and the diagnosis tool is good
any idea what to do with this?
Error: Failed to read info for adguardhome : Corrupted JSON read from /etc/yunohost/apps/adguardhome/manifest.json (reason: Extra data: line 2 column 1 (char 3))

Uuuuh idk, when does that happens ?

Sounds like there’s an issue line 2 of that file x_X

trying to install adguard…the web interface thinks it’s installed but it’s not so I think I need to clear out the ‘aborted install’ for starters?
