Hi,

I'm trying to set up a Proxmox Cluster on my Laptop, across 3 VMs.
When I try to join with Node2, it never finishes, I need to reload the Webinterface of Node2, maybe even reboot.
Node1 then shows Node2 as offline and the Message: "'/etc/pve/nodes/node2/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist! (500)

Checks
NTP and Timezone is set correctly
ssh root@<other-node-ip> works, but always asks for password
Clear Cache & Cookies, reload Browser
pvecm updatecerts
restarted all the Services
copied Certificates manually > Error on Node2, no Permission
Modifying /etc/corosync/corosync.conf > Error no Permission

I've tried this now with Proxmox 8.4 and 8.2

Basically the same Problem as here and many others:

Output journalctl -b -u pve-cluster:
May 08 09:16:05 node2 pmxcfs[812]: [quorum] crit: quorum_initialize failed: 2
