Hi,
first I thought 1GB RAM of my system is not enough to run Gramps-Web, but I was able to run it nicely in my local network with two parameter changes (GUNICORN_NUM_WORKERS: 1; --concurrency=1)
Question: If I check the remaining free memory, it’s around 370 MB with no other big task running. Can you recommend more parameter changes in order to further reduce the needed memory? It would be nice to run Gramps-Web with low resources.

I wasn’t able so far to set up Gramps-Web via HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt. Under port 80 and 443 of my localhost, I can only see the nginx pages. And under gramps-example url outside my network even these nginx pages can’t be loaded. For port forwarding I followed these steps since it matches my setup: tutorials/dyndns-fuer-ipv6-server-hinter-fritzbox-konfigurieren
Question 2: Is there anything wrong with the HOST parameters, or am I missing something?
Question 3: Can you recommend how to debug in small steps? E.g. is there a simple tool/command to verify that ports 80 and 443 are reachable outside my network? At least I could successfully ping gramps-example.dynv6.net.
One error which appears is the following:#

Thank you very much for any help and advice.
Since it is after midnight there, I would not expect definitive response from David until tomorrow. But maybe some other users here are on Raspberry Pi.
(I hope to try that at some point in the future. So your experience is very interesting to me.)

The only other thing that comes to mind is setting GUNICORN_NUM_WORKERS to 1, see Limit CPU & memory usage - Gramps Web.
Regarding your nginx/Let’s Enrypt issues - unfortunately I don’t know what this error means, but I suggest to ask here with a minimal example.
