Install Proxmox on the Raspberry Pi 4

[taker18]

I am getting this error:



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.

There is a tutorial to install Proxmox VE on top of Debian in the wiki. It does not use dhcpcd, but the explanations concerning the hosts file might still be interesting.

This is really interesting as well.
I followed those 2 tutorials

and so far is working. Only When I started to creat the vm I found out that I am missing the bridge.
but I might try this tutorial that send put as well. Thank you
