Hello.
I am getting an error with the apt-get update command after installing PVE 6.1-3
I thought it could be a network error, but it seems like my server can communicate with the rest of the network since I can access the Web GUI and SSH into it from another computer.
I am suspecting it could be network related as I didn't have a network cable attached when I installed the system.
Here is the error output.
I have been using non supscription repository and disabled the enterprise respository.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

hi,

I am suspecting it could be network related as I didn't have a network cable attached when I installed the system.

that's likely why.

it looks like you're not able to resolve hosts, so check first your dns settings. cat /etc/resolv.conf should tell you the current nameservers (may be empty if there was no connection during install). add/change that

also just to be safe, check the /etc/hosts file. it should have an entry with your IP address (hostname --ip-address should show you the correct IP of the host)

I have checked that and did change my DNS setting to point to the correct location.
I've setup the settings the same as another server on the same network.
However, now I get this error when updating.
Is it possible to copy the OS config files or something from an old server to a new server?

you're missing the public key for the repository.

run: wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg and try again

Thank you so much. I came across these things last night and I tried entering that in, but it didn't work. I should have figured to try it again after correcting the DNS settings.
Thank you again.
