I’ve been running IN for many years, it took a lot of work to move from 4 to 5. I only need it sporadically so sometimes I don’t notice when things break. I am using watchtower to keep IN up to date.
I just had to issue an invoice and I get 500: There was an error generating the PDF with Phantom JS - at first I could save the invoice but when I tried editing it I now can’t save it anymore.
In the preview pane I see this error:
The last time I issued an invoice without any issues was on the 9th of March this year. Inside my env file I find these lines with my notes and links accumulated over the years. This is just an extract, if you need to see more variables please ask.

I have no idea where to start debugging. IN was running fine with these settings. Please somebody just give me a hand how to quick-fix this. I need to manually issue invoices, I don’t need any automation for now, no client dashboards, nothing.
