Hello Everyone,

after messing around while trying to install a wifi card on my server where my proxmox OS is installed, my WebGUI started not showing my node and it looks like this:

But pvs command is fine:

Code:
PV             VG  Fmt  Attr PSize    PFree
  /dev/nvme0n1p3 pve lvm2 a--  <475.94g <16.00g

and i can connect to my VMs.

Also Proxmox android APP show everything as usual.
I have already tried to reinstall the web gui but nothing is changing.

Can you help me deal with this issue?
 
UPDATE:

after leaving the UI opened the node is reappeared:

but if I refresh the page, is not immediately there...

this is very odd
 
UPDATE:

by looking at the developer tools, i can see that the http call is actually retreiving the infos but they are not shown in the ui

Just to close the support.
I had reinstalled proxmox and reverting back all my VMs.

Process was fairly smooth. never understood the initial error cause.

I’m having the exact same issue.

I’ve been making some changes to PVE host, then when I come to log back in again, the UI loads but no node are displayed. I can’t even see any info at the Datacentre level.

The PVE node and its VMs and LXCs all appear to run fine. I can still SSH into the box and ss -tuln shows that the port is open on :8006 and a curl shows the api is running.

@parotek what was your reinstall and VM revert back process to fix this?
 
Hi,

did you try with a different browser? Are there any errors in your browser developer console (usually Ctrl+Shift+C and then select the console tab)? Please share the output of pveversion -v and apt install debsums && debsums -c, the latter can take a while. Are there any interesting messages in the system journal?

P.S. usually it's much better to open a new thread than to bump a 2-year old one.

Fair point. It sounded similar to the original poster's question, and they had posted an indication of a solution, but it lacked some detail.

I managed to fix the issue in the end. It turns out I had an inline comment in
Code:
/etc/pve/storage.cfg
and that was causing the UI to fail to load. After removing the comments and some digging, I found out you can only use #comments on their own line in the *.cfg files.

The problem is fixed now.
