This is a brandnew VM, I do not know what the issue is.

You might try un-installing curl (sudo snap remove curl), and try with 'sudo apt install -y curl'

If that doesn't help, are you able to write to /tmp as your regular (non-root) user? What is the output of this command?

touch /tmp/foo

(There should be no output if the command succeeds.)

Yes I am able to write to it, there is no output of it

owncast@owncast-virtual-machine:$ touch /tmp/foo
owncast@owncast-virtual-machine:
$

The text file that it created was blank.

i did the the "sudo snap remove curl" at a different window and appeared to work just fine, I restarted the VM, here is the output of this screen.

It creates the 'data' directory the first time you run owncast, so the backup failed because it doesn't exist.
You should be able to delete the directory and then re-install it.

rm -rf ~/owncast

Also, it looks like 128 packages are out of date, might want to update those with

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

It mentions in the log what's going on:

Existing install found in this directory.

It thinks Owncast is already setup there because there's probably a directory called owncast. Remove that directory, or choose a different place to install Owncast.
