Right now I'm not able to start any containers. I can add and remove containers but not start them. VM's though are fine.

I recently renamed my node to Atlas. I think I got all steps in that part covered. I followed the advice in this post https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-node-name-change.14327/

Here's the errors I get when I try to start a container, even a freshly created one.

pve-container@100.service - PVE LXC Container: 100

Never mind. I just wanted to be sure I didn't forget something during my renaming session.

Solution is, as has been posted several times here, to add correct repos and do a proper update using apt.
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription

Please mark as solved, or delete.

ps. Thanks for a bloody awesome product!
