I have finally gotten qdevice installed on my nodes after last night, however, I now seem to be unable to ssh into the qdevice, and get an exit one error code. It hangs for about 2 minutes in between each step.

Hello,
In case it's still not working, can you verify if SSH access from the cluster node to the QDevice is working?

If SSH is working, I suggest removing the QDevice and setting it up again [0][1]:
  1. On any of the cluster node, remove the qdevice:
    pve# pvecm qdevice remove

  2. On the QDevice host, make sure corosync-qnetd is installed:
    external# apt install corosync-qnetd

  3. On the QDevice host, make sure tcp port 5403 is allowed [2]:
    external# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5403/tcp --permanent

  4. On the cluster nodes, make sure corosync-qdevice is installed on all cluster nodes:
    pve# apt install corosync-qdevice

  5. On any of the cluster nodes, Set up your qdevice by running the following command:
    pve# pvecm qdevice setup <QDEVICE-IP>
