Have a nice day! Need help

Installed on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon  
zrok2 version  
\_  
\_\_\ __\_ \_\_ \__ \_ | | \_\_

v2.0.0-rc5 [8f8c125e]

zrok2 enable --headless  
[0.593] INFO main.(enableCommand).run contacting the zrok service...  
[3.354] ERROR main.(enableCommand).run the zrok service returned an error: [POST /enable][500] enableInternalServerError  
there was a problem enabling your environment!

you are trying to use the zrok service at: [https://api-v2.zrok.io](https://api-v2.zrok.io)

you can change your zrok service endpoint using this command:

$ zrok2 config set apiEndpoint

(where newEndpoint is something like: [https://some.zrok.io](https://some.zrok.io))

zrok2 status

Config:

╭──────────────────┬────────────────────────┬────────╮  
│ CONFIG │ VALUE │ SOURCE │  
├──────────────────┼────────────────────────┼────────┤  
│ apiEndpoint │ [https://api-v2.zrok.io](https://api-v2.zrok.io) │ config │  
│ defaultNamespace │ public │ binary │  
│ headless │ false │ config │  
│ superNetwork │ false │ config │  
╰──────────────────┴────────────────────────┴────────╯

To create a local environment use the zrok2 enable command.

What could be the problem?
