[SOLVED] Mistakenly tried to change node hostname with VMs on the node

[esi_y]

Fixed! Just needed to update the reverse proxy configuration to support web sockets. Thanks for your help and happy holidays!

No worries, you too!

PS You may want to check if you do not have 2 entries in /etc/pve/known_hosts for the same alias (and IP). If you did, you should delete the earlier (at the top of the file) ones. It does not pose problems now, but it would if you later were to create a cluster ...

PS2 If you wanted to really "rename" the node, the "official" way to do it would be basically to back up all VMs/CTs, reinstall entire node, name it what you want of course, then import the backed up guests.

I don't see the /etc/pve/known_hosts file. Is this a problem?

Sorry, should be /etc/pve/priv/known_hosts
