Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

🔎 Did you run the script with verbose mode enabled?

No (this issue will likely be closed automatically)

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

PBS Post Install

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/tools/pve/post-pbs-install.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 13

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

9.1.5

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

On Proxmox Backup Server inside an privileged LXC container (Debian 13 / trixie), running the post-install script and then upgrading packages can make the PBS Web UI unavailable after reboot.

I think the main suspect is ifupdown2 upgrade:

  • from: 3.0.0-1.3
  • to: 3.3.0-1+pmx12

Container itself stays running, but UI is unreachable.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. Create fresh PBS Privileged LXC on trixie.
  2. Run post-install script
  3. Reboot container.
  4. Check PBS UI.

Paste the full error output (if available).

journal logs seems fine
