Im using Cloudflare tunnels to try and connect a dashboard to my domain. Im using a ubuntu server. Im using the pre generated command to install everything. Im getting this error

and if i run it with sudo everything works
2023-09-05T07:34:49Z INF Linux service for cloudflared uninstalled successfully
2023-09-05T07:34:49Z INF Linux service for cloudflared uninstalled successfully


Then if i run
sudo cloudflared service install xxxx
sudo cloudflared service install xxxx
i get the error i started with saying its already installed? There is no connecter showing up when it refreshes?

I Think im stuck in a loop
