Hey! I was trying to follow your guide but I'm getting the following error when trying to run this on my pi:

It's running a raspbian rather than ubuntu version. Not sure if that could have something to do with it.

@Juanpam If you are using a RPi4, then please double check you are using Raspbian 64bit.

I installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with full support for arm64 architecture. It still fails. Also I noticed that you are referencing the docker-smtp folder in the shared docker-compose-yml file but there is no folder called like that in your repo. It fails if I leave it as it is in the current repo as well

[iwishiwasaneagle]

@Juanpam from your logs it's definitely an architecture issue. What's the output of uname -a?

[Juanpam]

@iwishiwasaneagle This is the output of said command:

• Linux raspberrypi 5.15.0-1038-raspi #41-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 8 12:38:39 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

My first logs were from having an armhf architecture but to fix that I then installed Ubuntu 22.04 with full support for arm64 architecture. It fails but I don't have the logs with me. However I still found issues with the docker-smtp folder that is referenced in the docker compose file.

Thanks a lot for answering!

[iwishiwasaneagle]

Hmmm yeah the docker-smtp folder might have been an error. I don't have access to my RPi4 for a while but will double check my config when I do.

why do we need SSL and nginx?
If I have a self hosted website on a docker compose on my RPi4 and exposed to the internet with cloudflare tunnel with a domain that will have SSL provided by cloudflare. (we can do this with the free account)

Can we use that and avoid setting all nginx, ssl stuff that you did ?
I want to monitor my website that is on my RPi4 exposed to the internet.

[iwishiwasaneagle]

@asyba yes, I believe that that would be enough. I haven't had any experience with Cloudflare Tunnels but that sounds like an interesting solution.
