Backup gui not being published

[clanktron]

I recently decided to add pbs to one of my pve nodes on bare metal, however the gui doesn't seem to be appearing on the expected ip:8007. The install went fine and there seems to be some processes listening on the expected port 8007, however there is no proxy process running that actually publishes it to the network like with the pve gui. I've restarted the machine and made sure all the packages are up to date, not sure where to go from here.

Hello,

make sure the backup-server is actually running:

root@pveb:~# systemctl  status proxmox-backup
● proxmox-backup.service - Proxmox Backup API Server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/proxmox-backup.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sat 2021-12-18 19:25:13 CET; 5 days ago
   Main PID: 2441 (proxmox-backup-)
      Tasks: 5 (limit: 18914)
     Memory: 10.8M

     CGroup: /system.slice/proxmox-backup.service
             └─2441 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/proxmox-backup/proxmox-backup-api

If you get an error message instead look into the journal by commands like journalctl -u proxmox-backup

On my PVE with additionally installed PBS I can see two processes each:

root@pveb:~# ss -tlpn | grep proxmox

If this is all fine: maybe the firewall / packet filter is blocking access? (I can not compare, my external Router handles this for me.)

Best regards

Turns out it was the host firewall. Thanks for the suggestions
