Hi,
I'm creating SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt on another server (HAProxy).
The certificates follow the following naming convention:
<subdomain>.<domain>.cert and <subdomain>.<domain>.key
In my case:
pve.biszumbitterenen.de.cert
pve.biszumbitterenen.de.key


In the "cert deployment step" I copy the certificates to Proxmox server (using scp).

On the Proxmox server the certificates must have this naming though:
pveproxy-ssl.pem
pveproxy-ssl.key


Therefore I wanted to create a symbolic link in /etc/pve/local/, but this fails (please check below).
root@pc4-svp:/etc/pve/nodes# ls -l

root@pc4-svp:/etc/pve/nodes# cd pc4-svp/

ln: die symbolische Verknüpfung 'pveproxy-ssl.key' konnte nicht angelegt werden: Die angeforderte Funktion ist nicht implementiert
root@pc4-svp:/etc/pve/nodes/pc4-svp#


What's causing this error?

THX
 
File system is: ext4

root@pc4-svp:/etc/pve/nodes/pc4-svp# ln -s pve.biszumbitterenen.de.key pveproxy-ssl.key
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'pveproxy-ssl.key': Function not implemented
 
/etc/pve is a special filesystem, and you cannot create a symbolic link there
