site enable --owncast gives error

[mroberts1]

I installed an Owncast instance on Linode and installed Site.js successfully. I then tried to install Owncast per the instructions on the site, but when I run site enable --owncast the server doesn't launch and I get the error below. I'm very unfamiliar with servers so any suggestions as to what the problem is would be appreciated.

Ah, darn, looks like it’s failing on an assumption with an error message so we don’t know what the actual error is.

What OS is your instance running?

Worst case scenario, would you be up for giving me access to the server so I can ssh in and poke around?

My Linode instance is Debian 10 because it supports one-click install of Owncast. It appears that the instance comes packaged with Owncast and Caddy as the SSL reverse proxy server, which is automatically enabled on port 80.

I was already able to stream video with the default setup but have had a lot of trouble configuring the VPS server - I don't know anything about FQDNs, DNS addresses, domains, etc. so that's probably why after installing Site.js it generates an error.

I can share the SSH public key if you want to login and have a look but would need a more secure way to do that than just posting it here!
