[SOLVED] Installation to start pve-cluster

[sumshouse]

Hello,

I installed an a new Proxmox on an existing Debian 10.
The only real installed thing is docker, I don't think that this should be a problem.

Mär 07 20:36:15  systemd[1]: Starting The Proxmox VE cluster filesystem...
Mär 07 20:36:15  pmxcfs[5036]: fuse: mountpoint is not empty
Mär 07 20:36:15  pmxcfs[5036]: fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
Mär 07 20:36:15  pmxcfs[5036]: [main] crit: fuse_mount error: File exists

This is what the log says. Does someone know what is the problem there.

Thank you

Hi,

I'd recommend following our documentation and install Docker in a VM (Qemu/KVM).

mixing docker and pve on the host is not recommended - install docker in a VM

the logs tell you that you have some content in `/etc/pve` - this is where the pve cluster filesystem gets mounted:
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pmxcfs.html

-> backup all files in /etc/pve (which are not on the cluster-filesystem) and clean it up - then start `pve-cluster`
