I am trying to connect to my Juicebox but I am getting an internal server error. Does anyone know how to solve this? See image below:

Hi Peter,

The error message is not indicative of any specific issue, so a dive into the logs is required (on the host system, not the service logs shown in Juice).

- `podman ps -a` will show you which containers are present. There may be an old inactive container sitting under your user, which can lead to an error of this sort.
- `podman logs -f <container>` will give you the logs of a specific container, which may illuminate where your server is failing to start.

If a faulty container is found, `podman rm <container>` can be used to remove it which may allow the next login to succeed. `podman system prune` can be used a system-wide pruning of old containers.

Hope that helps
