Describe the Bug

Trying to setup pangolin for the first time.
Used the install script, but Traefik wouldn't let me get certificates through https challenge.
Dashboard wasn't available and I got this:

I changed Traefik to DNS challenge wildcard domains (https://docs.pangolin.net/self-host/advanced/wild-card-domains) and I don't get any errors in docker compose logs from that anymore. Here's how it looks:

I can see "WireGuard interface wg0 created and configured", should interface "wg0" be visible on my server? If so, it isnt: (pangolin traefik and gerbil running here:)

Dashboard (pangolin.DOMAIN.com) still wasn't available.

I checked my 80, 443, 21820, 51820 ports:

These ports are also port forwarded in my router settings. (some random ubee router GUI but I think this is ok)
Without port forwarding it gave me the same result.

I'm trying to keep everything as simple and to "stock" as possible to even see it working at all.
But no luck in two days.
I was using a Cloudflare tunnel before which basically worked out of the box.

This is how my DNS records look:

I can't figure out why the basic (https challenge) didn't work, as the server is basically empty (not clean install but not much going on either). I also can't figure out why it doesn't work with a working(?) dns challenge.
Any help would be appreciated

Environment

OS Type & Version: home server on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Pangolin Version: 1.15.0
Gerbil Version: 1.3.0
Traefik Version: 3.6.7
Newt Version: -

To Reproduce

Expected Behavior

-dashboard available
