**What type of hardware are you using** : Other ARM board

**How are you able to access your server** : SSH

### Describe your issue

Hi,  
I’m going in China soon and wanted to make Tailscale work on my YNH server.  
Stupidly, I followed [this](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/tailscale-only-yunohost-possible-how-to-configure/23812/6) topic.  
Since, I can only access to my server through SSH…  
It seems that I broke nginx (see my error messages below)

> root@XXXXXXX:/home/herve# yunohost service reload nginx  
> nginx.service is not active, cannot reload.  
> Warning: Could not execute the command ‘systemctl reload nginx’  
> Error: Could not reload the service ‘nginx’

and the following is [here](https://privatebin.net/?a858deba554b8f30#3qbT5SFJh6NGoncmJFBmo5Rar4Ex1VBqAKv8bAbBBLsu)

edit:  
voilà ce que me retourne `yunohost service status nginx`

After a restoration of a recent core back up of my server + uninstallation of Tailscale + reboot, everything seems back to normal…
