After the installation I can’t visualize the smokeping via the web, I always get the page not found error, but in the cli status I have it working, I’m using nginix web server!
Can anyone help to resolve this?

There is no smokeping config in that librenms.vhost file - click the link on my last post - looks like the generic doco, but it has the target link to take you to the right section:
One the website Smokeping - LibreNMS Docs there is an error in the description of how to run it at least under debian 11
On the website it is described that you should follow these steps
Note, you need to install fcgiwrap for CGI wrapper interact with Nginx
apt install fcgiwrap
Then configure Nginx with the default configuration
cp /usr/share/doc/fcgiwrap/examples/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/fcgiwrap.conf
Add the following configuration to your /etc/nginx/conf.d/librenms config file.
The following will configure Nginx to respond to http://yourlibrenms/smokeping:
Browsing to http://yourlibrenms/smokeping/ should bring up the smokeping web interface
the first is that the file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/librenms should have a conf ending because in the main nginx configuration it is set as default that it imports *.conf files
However, after renaming to librenms.conf nginx -t returns
nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] "location" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/conf.d/librenms.conf:3
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
root@nms:/etc/nginx/conf.d# mcedit /etc/nginx/conf.d/librenms.conf
and this is as correct as possible because we should put the location directive in the main vhost file for libre nms
The solution is not to put anything in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/librenms file or librenms.conf
and putting in the vhost configuration file for librenms in my case the file looks like this
cat /etc/nginx/sites-available/librenms.vhost

I’m having a hard time reading your reply and of course having issues with smokeping. What do you mean by this?
Add the following configuration to your /etc/nginx/conf.d/librenms config file.
The following will configure Nginx to respond to http://yourlibrenms/smokeping:
Browsing to http://yourlibrenms/smokeping/ should bring up the smokeping web interface
