fresh install any idea why may cause this?

I have the exact same problem, it started in the last couple days. No idea why, but exactly the same.

When you say it started in the last few days, it worked before? I’m a relatively new user and wasn’t sure if I’d made an error in configuration as I’m getting this too.

Check your Key Token from DuckDNS, when copying I had grabbed a space at the start that threw this error.

Yeah, that fixed all my errors I was getting in both NGINX and Duck DNS… amazing how much a little space at the front of that key can mess things up! Thanks for that tip!

I have installed Duck DNS in January, it was runnung well untill may and now I get this error message : “ERROR: deploy_challenge hook returned with non-zero exit code”
I checked the token : it seems correct. Do you have any other idea ?
