After resolving the reverse-proxy issues I went to deploy on production. To the best of my knowledge I have followed the same steps as ironed out in dev. It is depoloyed behind the reverse proxy at "/". Metabase guided me through the setup screen and seemed to work correctly. I chose to skip connecting to my DB during the install to do that later. When it tries to render the home screen for the first time I get an empty white page with the message "An error occurred":
There are no messages in my browser console, and no errors in the Metabase log. I enabled db & server tracing with MB_NS_TRACE="metabase.db,metabase.server" and got a few more messages, but nothing stands out to me. These are the messages that are generated when I refresh the browser window:

How can I determine what the error is, and what to do about it?
(Just by way of FYI, this didn't happen in the dev environment yesterday, everything worked fine there after getting the nginx config sorted.)
Thank you,
