I reciently install proxmox on Debian and the install failed. Here is the error:

The resolution was to make sure the network was set to a static IP:
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug enp4s0
iface enp4s0 inet static
address 192.168.0.16
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1

The second issue was to make sure there was a host entry. Comment out the 127.0.0.1 and make sure to use the full host.domain host as below. Leaving out the end “px1” caused the issue.
#127.0.1.1 px1.geekdecoder.com px1 192.168.0.16 px1.geekdecoder.com px1
