I am running Debian 11 updated and upgraded on VPS server. I apologize if I have left anything out as I am just now getting started here. I will immediately get back here if anything else is needed. ACrowe

can you run the following commands and test again?

chown -R plume:plume /var/log/plume
chmod -R 640 /var/log/plume
systemctl restart plume.service

A couple of things to note. I cannot figure out which password to use for my server. I tried the pass I entered for the yunohost installed when on the command line but it did not work. I also considered that my passwords were to complex, could find no info on disallowed characters so entered a short phrase with all letters rather than symbols and numbers. That didn’t work either. I went ahead and tried to install plume again and got this readout before yunohost server stalled after thirty minutes. It follows:

Installing plume…
Provisioning sources…
Provisioning ports…
Provisioning system_user…
Provisioning install_dir…
Provisioning permissions…
Provisioning apt…
Provisioning database…
Storing installation settings…
Setting up source files…
Configuring NGINX web server…
Adding a config file…
Making setup…
Configuring a systemd service…
Starting a systemd service…
(this may take some time)
The service plume didn’t fully executed the action start before the timeout.
Please find here an extract of the end of the log of the service plume:

I cannot make heads or tails of this but it appears that the software on yunohost is not quite right? I am not new to this but I have always installed from command line with success, after trial and error. I’m at a loss. ACrowe
