Great tutorial. My only issue is that when I try to get an SSL certificate, I get an "internal error" warning from the top of the page. Does anyone know any solutions?

Hello sir. Could I install both nginx and cloudflare tunnels together? If so which do I install first. Appreciate the reply in advance. Out of all the tutorials I’ve watched on YouTube you make all this very easy to understand.

Hello,

I was looking at your video channel. We may be helping a company that uses secure images to increase supply chain security and help cloud native development. Would you be willing to help try their software, make a video, and help show devs how to use their tools?

This is not an offer, but just to start a conversation about your willingness to take on sponsorship. The video can be from 5 to 10 minutes long.

You'd have a chance to look at their technology and decide if it's the type of software that you'd be interested in covering in your channel. Please provide us with your pricing.
