Help! Set up cloudron but pops up nginx

Absolute beginner here. I was following the video of this youtuber Network Chuck on setting up cloudron on linode. For him, he keys in an IP XXX.XXX.XX.XXX into the browser and a login setup prompt ups for cloudron. However, when i do the same, it pops up:
Welcome to nginx!
If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.

For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
Commercial support is available at nginx.com.

Thank you for using nginx.

I reviewed NetworkChuck's video and saw that he deployed Cloudron through our Marketplace.

To replicate the issue you've encountered, I followed our Deploy Cloudron through the Linode Marketplace guide and created a Dedicated 4GB Cloudron Linode in our Atlanta data center.

After filling out only the required fields, I waited 10-15 minutes for the application to install. Once installed, I SSH'd into my Linode and verified the application was successfully installed with the following command:

grep -i 'installation complete' /var/log/stackscript.log

You should see an output like this:

grep -i 'installation complete' /var/log/stackscript.log
Installation Complete

Afterwards, the following prompts populated on my console:

            WELCOME TO CLOUDRON
            -------------------

Visit one of the following URLs and accept the self-signed certificate to finish setup.
  * https://xx.xx.xxx.xxx(Your Linode's IP address)

The Cloudron setup dashboard is served at the IP address of the Linode server. For example, it should look something similar to this:

http://203.0.113.0

You'll need to replace the IP address with values of your Linode server. From there, I was able to successfully access my Cloudron Dashboard without a Welcome to Nginx message.

Based on what you've observed, it seems that you did not properly installed Cloudron or used our Marketplace application to deploy it. I recommend reviewing the following guide for proper guidance:
