Hi, i wanted to make a self signed cert again, so i can go over via the ssh connection and port forward this way, instead of having the PVE open to the internet, accessable.
I have tried to create new cert using this page https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_SSL_Error_Fixing
But when i access the page i get "Issued to: pve.your-server.de"
How can i fix this? in the FQDN part of the creating of the certs i have written localhost (which i assumed this was used for the "Issued to")
 
That page is quite outdated (I'll look to make this more visible there)

the current documentation regarding certificates can be found in the reference documentation:
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#sysadmin_certificate_management

without further info - I'd say - make a backup of all files and run `pvecm updatecerts -force 1`
That page is more or less ONLY how to get ACME/Let's Encrypt working.
I want to go the other way.

I have tried to do the updatecerts, but this is where i get the problem, its issued to pve.your-server.de which doesnt point to localhost or 127.0.0.1, so i cannot access proxmox webgui
