Unable to access ProxMox node shell

[beckett]

When I try and access the shell I get this error:

failed waiting for client: Cannot assign requested address (os error 99)
TASK ERROR: command '/usr/bin/termproxy 5900 --path /nodes/proxmox --perm Sys.Console -- /bin/login -f root' failed: exit code 1

I am able to refresh in Updates but get the same error when I try and Upgrade ProxMox. Cannot shut down system as well. No other apparent issues. Please advise, thanks.

Awesomeness.

That should be defined local in /etc/hosts and NOT in DNS and just works because it's missing in yours.

Thanks for your feedback and fortunately I do have it as you recommend, see below. I am learning how to use Proxmox, it is very challenging for me, but fortunately I can get information off this forum. Thanks again.

GNU nano 7.2
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.203 proxmox.home proxmox

# 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

You are welcome. localhost line is nothing Proxmox specific as it's needed on every unix, linux and yes even oin windows ...

Apparently it has something to do also with browser-embedded shell consoles used in other web interfaces too.
For example if I use ESPHome Dashboard with the remote logger console opened in one tab, Proxmox's remote shells produce this werid behavior as described in the OP. Moreover, ESPHome Dashboard turns black too.
Have to reload both with Ctrl+Shift+R to restore functionality....
