I am using proxmox over a debian os
with a constant error of failed startup
Your help would be appreciated
Code:

Hi,
to see the actual error message, try using journalctl -b0 -u pve-cluster.service. Please also provide the output of pveversion -v.

Do you get the correct IP address if you use hostname --ip-address? Otherwise, please share the contents of the mentioned files and the output of ip a.

You rather want 192.168.0.105 as the output here. 127.0.1.1 is part of the loopback block so it's not connected to any network.

As an example, for me:
Code:
root@pve703 ~ # cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.20.243 pve703.enia.proxmox.com pve703

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
root@pve703 ~ # cat /etc/hostname  
pve703
root@pve703 ~ # hostname --ip-address  
192.168.20.243

Pls guide what should be my
Code:
/etc/host
file should look like which will fix the issue?
i am confused
 
It's /etc/hosts. You can try to copy mine, and replace the second line with
Code:
192.168.0.105 <your FQDN> <your hostname>
