Solved nginx.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.

[jeau]

one of my servers suddenly crashed tonight. Impossible to access the dashboard. I noticed that nginx was not running.

journalctl -u nginxcommand result:

@jeau
Is this after restarting the server?

@ccfu no, but then I rebooted and it doesn't change anything

it's solved, it was a problem with resolv.conf. The DNS servers of my scaleway instance are not responding anymore ...
