Attempting to install, and get this error on MAKE. What could be causing the 400 error?

400 means Bad Request, here's a graphic representation:



It means that the key is wrong, double check you are using v4 key and also try using the .env file to store that so you don't need to enter it every time

Damn! Rookie move on my side.

I was indeed using the V3 key, and not the V4.

The install seemed to complete OK, but now when I access my site, I get a generic 503 error (https://allthepics.net), and the certificate from Lets Encrypt does not appear to be valid.

I can create a site on the subdomain by issue make deploy NAMESPACE={namespace} ADMIN_EMAIL={email}

This is the most updated (and easy) guide: https://v4-docs.chevereto.com/guides/docker/ but what I've noticed is that in some providers Docker network isn't configured properly. Double check that you followed every step and if you felt lost just let me know in which step you are getting issues.

Got it figured out. I was using Chevereto Factory installer, and not the pure docker. Not sure I understand the use case for the factory.

 

[Rodolfo]

Factory is for spawning one or more Chevereto instances with everything included, the main difference is that factory comes with nginx proxy and several other tools like cron, updates, image building, etc. Is intended for novel users as it leverages everything, even the domain binding at CloudFlare. Its purpose is to enable users to provide multiple Chevereto installs with ease.

The pure Docker is basically raw container, suitable for your custom docker manager and setup, doesn't come with nginx or anything else really, is pure raw stuff.
