hi,

any ideas whats going on?

i guess you were trying to put a custom certificate right?

you could try:

pvecm updatecerts --force
systemctl restart pveproxy

also take a look here [0], there are some other hints:

3.11.2. Certificates for API and Web GUI​

The REST API and web GUI are provided by the pveproxy service, which runs on each node.

You have the following options for the certificate used by pveproxy:

1. By default the node-specific certificate in /etc/pve/nodes/NODENAME/pve-ssl.pem is used. This certificate is signed by the cluster CA and therefore not automatically trusted by browsers and operating systems.
2. use an externally provided certificate (e.g. signed by a commercial CA).
3. use ACME (Let’s Encrypt) to get a trusted certificate with automatic renewal, this is also integrated in the Proxmox VE API and Webinterface.

For options 2 and 3 the file /etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.pem (and /etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.key, which needs to be without password) is used.

do you have a password set for the key? (should be without pass)

hope this helps!

you are correct.

you could try:

pvecm updatecerts --force
systemctl restart pveproxy

I already did before posting in here, nothing changed

do you have a password set for the key? (should be without pass)

no I don't.

hope this helps!
