You haven’t told us what you did to get in the mess in the first place so we can’t tell you how to undo said mess.

How did you install Rocket?
Please use *buntu 18.04 LTS - Rocket may not work on the intermediate releases

If you read your own logs you can see your error is here:

“No such file or directory:fopen(’/etc/nginx/certificate.crt”

So you need to fix your SSL certificates and put them in the right palce.

If you are using snaps and not confident in this then follow the documentation and use caddy (removing nginx and anything else first)
