according to this Tutorial https://www.bachmann-lan.de/proxmox-ve-auf-dem-raspberry-pi-4-installieren/
it possible to install Proxmox on raspi4
BU I am getting this
BUT I am getting an error most like has something to do with e hostname and IP in / etc / hosts

I didn't understand what to do in this step in the Tutorial :


"The SSD on the Pi will now boot from USB. Update the system, set a fixed IP and enter the hostname and IP in / etc / hosts and restart the Pi.
Without the entry in the hosts file, the installation will fail!

root @ pimox: ~ # apt update
root @ pimox: ~ # apt upgrade -y

root @ pimox: ~ # vi / etc / hostname
pimox

root @ pimox: ~ # vi / etc / hosts
# 127.0.1.1 pimox <- remove!
192.168.50.64 pimox.bachmann.lan pimox

root @ pimox: ~ # vi /etc/dhcpcd.conf
interface eth0
static ip_address = 192.168.50.64 / 24
static routers = 192.168.50.1
static domain_name_servers = 192.168.50.1"


if someone can explain a nit what should be done, most likely because i skipped this step
 
Did you commented out the "127.0.1.1 pimox" and added a new line with your hosts static IP and domain? You have already quoted that the install will fail if you don't do this.

yes I didn't and the reason that I didn't because I am not sure how to do that. is it turning the rasperrypi to static IP https://www.makeuseof.com/raspberry-pi-set-static-ip/ , or change the hostname https://howchoo.com/pi/how-to-change-the-hostname-of-your-raspberry-pi to the IP address. or both

I think it sound to me I need to do both
 
You set the static IP by editing /etc/dhcpcd.conf and set the hostname by editing /etc/hostname. /etc/hosts is used for the resolution of host names. Here the IP and hostname must match the values you set set in the other 2 files (and you need to choose a domain). If you don't set this up correctly stuff like the proxmox webui wont work.

yes you are correct, I found a better Tut to follow https://wiki.toenniges.net/index.ph...y_Pi_(Pimox)&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop.

Thank you for clarifying this out.
