Install errors and broken installation - unstyled login webpage and can't login

Describe the problem*

Using the scripted installer on Debian 11 VPS...

1. I get multiple warnings/errors during install. See install log excerpts in the "Relevant log output" section below.

2. The webpage loads, but is unstyled...
   

3. I am not able to login with the 'admin' credentials provided after the install.

4. Also, selecting the new UI link results in a blank page.

This is my first install ever, so not very encouraging. Please help! Thank you.

Steps to Reproduce

First install attempt:
sudo wget -qO install.sh https://get.inventree.org && sudo bash install.sh
Result:
setup_2024-12-18_03_49_16.log
Problem as described above under "Describe the problem"

Uninstall (best guess, could find no guidance in docs)

sudo apt remove inventree
sudo rm -Rf /etc/inventree /opt/inventree

Install yarn to address 'yarn: command not found' error in first install log
sudo apt install yarn

Second install attempt:
sudo wget -qO install.sh https://get.inventree.org && sudo bash install.sh
Result:
setup_2024-12-18_17_03_37.log
Same problem as described above under "Describe the problem"

Relevant log output (from second install attempt)

@matmair Thank you so much for the reply. I'm so sorry I did not see it until now. In regards to the missing log lines, I cannot explain that. What I attached is exactly how they exist on the system. See below...

It's a bit strange how it is creating a zero-length log file and then another *.log.1 file with content.

I could uninstall and reinstall again and see if I get the same result with the logs. What would you recommend?

Thank you
