Hi,
what is the output of pvecm status and pve7to8?
EDIT: sorry, wrongly assumed it was an upgrade. Can you post the output of
Code:
systemctl status pveproxy.service pvedaemon.service pve-cluster.service
systemctl start pveproxy.service pvedaemon.service pve-cluster.service
?

I think I was running into the same exact issue. I installed Debian 12, then following instructions to install Proxmox on top. However, I skipped some steps :')

Regarding the hosts file I thought I'll think about this later; so it only had default 127.0.1.1 entry.. Well it seems that setting host entry to actual IP-address made the error related to "Could not execute systemctl" go away.

Then I still had some errors from services not starting: "/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key: failed to load local private key"
Which I solved by (note this regens other things like SSH keys as well it seems!): pvecm updatecerts --force

Ps. I'm new to using Proxmox so just trying things out as I go along :)

So the issue seems to be with the pve-cluster.service. Please post the output of journalctl -xeu pve-cluster.service or the full journal since last boot. That hopefully shows what the actual issue is.
 
Doesn't show the error unfortunately. Please check/share the file resulting with journalctl -b > /tmp/journal.log
 
Code:

Seem to be related to /etc/hosts

you need to resolve your hostname to the real ip.
if you have any "127.0.1.1 <hosntame>" in this file, remove it.
