Same problem as described here:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/problem-with-installing-proxmox-ve-on-debian.44316/

But my /etc/hosts seems fine:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@debian:/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 debian
192.168.1.3 proxmox pvelocalhost

following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please help...

Have you changed the ssl-keys?
 
Is pmxcfs/pve-cluster running? - What's the output of
`systemctl status -l pve-cluster`
`journalctl -u pve-cluster`?

what does `find /etc/pve` output (remove any infromation you consider sensitive!)
 
Sorry I missed message..

The problem probably is in /etc/hosts and your hostname (as far as I can see):
* your shell usually includes the hostname - and it looks like the hostname of the server is debian (`hostname -f` and `cat /etc/hostname` should have the authoritative answer).
* your /etc/hosts contains the entry `192.168.1.3 proxmox pvelocalhost` - so, if you have the ip 192.168.1.3 configured, it would expect the hostname to be proxmox.

* get rid of the line `127.0.1.1 debian` unless you need it
* set your hostname, and adapt /etc/hosts to contain the proper hostname
 
I commented the debian line out and am in 1 step further! :)

what if the hostname needed to be change how would I change the keys then?
Please don't post below threads from more than one year ago - but rather open a new thread!
for a hostname change you generally need to:
* change the hostname (by writing to /etc/hostname and using the hostname command)
* add a correct entry for ip to hostname resolution to /etc/hosts
* test by running `ping $(uname -n)`
