    Hostname problem on Linux VMs

    Hello, I come to you because when I put a hostname on Proxmox on a VM (Ubuntu for example), and when I type the command "hostname" on the VM, it doesn't show me the right hostname at all.

    PVE nodes with DHCP assigned IPs and hostnames

    As I had just followed the instructions to install PVE on top of Debian, I realised the node relies on static IP - it was kind of obvious during the ISO install, but during APT install it clearly has to go into /etc/hosts with a static IP - why is this and does it have to be hardcoded for each...

    can't access with hostname after expanding drive

    Hi everyone, a while ago I switched from a 500GB SSD to a 2TB SSD and expanded the drive and both local and local_lvm. In this process I must have broken something because since then I can't reach Proxmox with it's hostname. The only way is through IP (which didn't change) or with the hostname...

    Any known issues with rebuilding a host in a cluster and reusing the same hostname?

    I have a 4-node PVE cluster, and one of my nodes needs to be re-built from scratch (I'm re-arranging how the ZFS pool is allocated and rebuilding some of the VDEVs, including the rpool partition). This host's hostname is embedded across various maintenance scripts which I use, so it would be...

    [Cloud-Init] Can't find how to set UUID + Hostname with NoCloud + Template

    Disclamer: I never used Proxmox ever or QEMU / qm / cloud-init until about 1 weeks ago.

    Hi Everyone, In the documentation https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Renaming_a_PVE_node there is a section that describes moving a node's /var/lib/rrdcached/db/pve2-node (and pve2-storage) sub-directory contents to the new hostname. However, I am unsure if it also needs rrdcached/db/pve#-* to be...

    LXC container only uses first part of hostname as hostname.

    Hi, I've been using proxmox for about half a year now (on a sort of basic level) and I'm quite happy with it. But I've sadly run into a issue that I failed at figuring out my self. Due to a legacy application in one of my containers that needs the hostname to be set to the domain of the...
