Hello everyone, I can't access my Proxmox GUI anymore since a power outage. Unfortunately I do not have a monitor attached to it but I can successfully SSH into it. Could please someone help me troubleshoot the problem?

Thank you.
 
Hi,
please check the status of systemctl status pveproxy.service pvedaemon.service, any errors in the journal? journalctl -b -r gives you a paged output of the journal since boot in reverse.
 
pveproxy.service and pvedaemon.service are active and running. Tons of errors in the journal:

Is there a way to check what VMs are currrently up?
 
All my VMs are down, including the ones that should autostart, I suppose that if it was a tailscale issue for GUI access, the VMs should autostart without any problem, since it's not a related problem. Could I be right?
 
this may or may not be connected at all. There is not enough information to draw any conclusions, except that we know that GUI is in fact responding on "localhost".
You can also try the same command, from PVE ssh session, with your LAN IP: curl -sk https://[192.168.x.x]:8006|grep title

The second portion of error messages refers to pmxcfs having trouble updating statistics database due to time mismatch. You may address it by using one of the methods here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/rrdc-and-rrd-update-errors.76219/#post-345702

Examine you boot journal log in detail. Remove the chatter you already understand with grep: journalctl -b -r |grep -vi tailscale

pveproxy.service and pvedaemon.service are active and running. Tons of errors in the journal:
the illegal attempt to update using time 1679920418 when last update time is 1689812379 errors might indicate that you have a time sync issue. Is chrony up and running systemctl status chrony.service. What exact error do you get when connecting to the webui via browser?
curl -sk https://[192.168.x.x]:8006|grep title
Please check the output of this command as suggested by @bbgeek17 but use `-v` instead of `-s` and without the pipe to grep to see and check the TLS handshake output.
 
SOLVED IT! I was very suspicious about that time difference, so I dug deeper. It was just the f****ing BIOS that reset, changing the time AND defaulting to IOMMU off -.-"

Thank you everyone for helping me!
