ok so the proxmox-backup-proxy does not start, can you post the syslog since boot: 'journalctl -b' ?

Seems to be related to IP v6, which is deactivated.

Output from journalctl -b:
that's sadly not the complete output. you can redirect the output into a file and upload that here
Code:
journalctl -b > /tmp/journal.log
 
ok i see the error now is:

Sep 19 22:21:29 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[755]: Error: Address family not supported by protocol (os error 97)

can you post your /etc/hosts file ? is there any ipv6 address included? (if yes that might be the reason)

EDIT: please also post your network configuration (/etc/network/interfaces)
 
/etc/hosts/
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.10 pbs

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
/etc/network/interfaces/
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet static
    address 192.168.1.10/24
    gateway 192.168.1.255
    mtu 1500

auto eno2
iface eno2 inet manual

auto ens1f0
iface ens1f0 inet manual

auto ens1f1
iface ens1f1 inet manual
 
My bad. Forgotten to run update-grub. It is working after re-enabling IP v6.

Apparently, this version lost support for IP v4 only.
