Hum it looks like docker is failing to pull the container as you describe. This is most likely something with docker on your linux box or the network. Where are you installing pangolin?

Maybe also give docker a restart based on this stackoverflow and maybe try a fresh VPS if possible? Let me know what you find.

@oschwartz10612 I tried to install on a clean VPS (debian 11). For some reason the script thinks that the installation was completed successfully. Perhaps it lacks a check for successful installation. Also, I did not find instructions on how to completely remove pangolin to try to install it again

In the same folder with the installer, you can remove the config folder and the docker-compose.yml file. It will let you reinstall with the installer script.

Feeling like this was a transient docker issue? Feel free to reopen. Agree the script needs a better check but can track that elsewhere.

Hey could you check the logs of the stack?

docker compose logs -f

I suspect gerbil is erroring out because your instance might not have
the wireguard kernel module.

You can reinstall by doing that.
