Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

So my setup is as like My nextcloud server running cloud flared tunned and my nextcloud VM is being accessible via cloudflare redirection.

I have redeployed the server more then 4 to 5 times without making any mistakes but at the end when i tried to access the server using the link, it will work for half and hour and then all of sudden it will stop and then there will be error of BAD GATEWAY as the screenshot provided.

Please i need a help.

It will start as soon as i redeploy it from my backups.

So cant find the issue
