Hi all,

Here I am again! It seems I am hitting the lottery with Pangolin. I hope MorganKryze doesn't see this 😶‍🌫️ .

Today I wanted to replace Newt in docker with Newt as a binary for the performance gains, at least I think Docker can introduce some overhead.
Following this guide: https://docs.digpangolin.com/manage/sites/install-site

Environment:
Proxmox VM running Debian 12

The steps to install are done without any issues(binary buick install) but when I try to start newt with my information following the guide and using my information, I get errors.

Command:
newt \ --id 31frd0uzbjvp721 \ --secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 \ --endpoint https://example.com

These credentials are generated by Pangolin dashboard once you try to create a site. The dashboard is reachable and works as expected(thanks Morgan).

I also tried to run Newt through a system service file. Using the example of the guide in the correct path I made sure the service did NOT run using htop.

Then reloaded the daemon:
systemctl daemon-reload

Enabled the service
systemctl enable newt.service

Then start the service file with
systemctl start newt.service

No errors unless I do:
systemctl status newt.service

Output:

Does anyone know what I can do?
