Hi all,  
I've got a digital ocean droplet and I'm trying to use zrok frontdoor to host some static files.

Everything looks good on my API account but when I click the frontend URL I get sent to the "not found" page. After looking at the logs I'm seeing this as the most recent log entry:  
`unable to create share (unable to create share: [POST /share][500] shareInternalServerError)`

I saw a couple closed issues on the github that contained this same error, but it looks like those issues were fixed.

Any ideas on how to proceed?  
Thanks,  
T

EDIT: I just tried commenting out the `ZROK_UNIQUE_NAME="matrweb2"` line I had and now it works, however I'd like to be able to set the name...  
Maybe some issue with this name?

T

My first guess is that unique name was claimed by a previous attempt, and then perhaps the reserved.json file was deleted causing the script to try reserving it again. Does it work with a different unique name? You're using the zrok-share package or the Docker Compose example?

I was able to fix this by using `zrok release` and or a unique name change.  
Thanks
