My apologies, the hostname above gave me the wrong impression that you are running inside fritz.box hosting provider.

If you are sure that the IPs and subnet are correct, it still continues to be local networking issue. With properly reachable gateway you should see at least one more hop, ie.
traceroute 8.8.8.8
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 172.16.202.1 (172.16.202.1) 0.175 ms 1.223 ms 1.216 ms
2 172.16.255.2 (172.16.255.2) 0.144 ms 1.203 ms 1.197 ms

It is possible that ICMP ping can be functional but other traffic is being blocked. If you are absolutely sure that all the settings are correct, my next step would be a network trace.

my question now is: are these changes permanent, or do i have to do this everytime i restart the server?
To address your question - these are temporary settings. Your boot sequence indicates presence of either slow/defective USB disks, or USB bus issues. You may want to disconnect all unnecessary device and reboot.

Good luck.

Having skimmed through this thread + the biggest graphics album on these forums - I'm betting this is HW related.

My first suspicion is on this:
some random 500G m.2 ssd
  • What is this drives history? Has it been successfully tested/used in another environment?
  • More importantly is this m.2 the sda drive mentioned in the logs? (Maybe provide lsblk output, great for more art!)
  • How is this connected to the server? Is it using some m.2 adapter dangling on a USB cable?
  • Have you successfully installed & run any OS with this EXACT HW?

no worries fritz.box is my router. i am no genius in networking (passed my uni course with a 3.0) but i do know the basics and am pretty sure that everything is correct.
.1 definitly is the router and therefore the gateway (?)
i set .32 as the static IP for the Server

i can ping the Router, but can't get past that

alright i'll try that tomorrow

hm ok weird. i forgot to take out the boot stick and havent changed the boot order yet. maybe thats what you are refering to?

with random i just meant i dont know the brand. its been in my old PC for maybe 5-6 Years (windows). i ran a crystaldisc ( i believe thats what its called) a few months ago and everything was fine.
the only thing i did was wipe the old os of the drive and install proxmox onto it. so yes this HW has been running in this config for several years.
the M.2 is in the M.2 slot of the motherboard.

Some routers block traffic from IP addresses that are within the DHCP range but do not use DHCP to get the IP address. Can you make sure the Proxmox IP address is not inside the router's DHCP range?

oh that is a very good idea havent thought of that. i'll check in the morning thanks!
 
sda has gone & we now have sdb as a removable drive (RM 1) with 0 bytes. Weird behavior. What is this some enclosure/adapter? What ever it is I'd remove it & try again.
ok this seamed to be one of the frontpanel usbs (although there was nothing plugged into them). i have unplugged them for now.

this seemed to be the issue. i can now ping 8.8.8.8. i think the only issue i still have, is that i have to setup the bridge everytime i boot the system. although it is configured here:

Code:
  GNU nano 7.2                   /etc/network/interfaces                             
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp6s0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.178.3/24
        gateway 192.168.178.1
        bridge-ports enp6s0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0


source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

any ideas?
 
What is your current output of ip a AFTER:
  • Removal of ALL Flash & USB drives & peripherals
  • Shutdown Server
  • Power off Server as in remove power supply/cord/jumper etc.
  • Restart Server.
