can you run with verbose? just tested it and it works fine for me

[bhouseski]

see below where it starts to error out. let me know if you need the full log.

Postfix (main.cf) is now set up with a default configuration. If you need to
make changes, edit /etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed. To view
Postfix configuration values, see postconf(1).

After modifying main.cf, be sure to run 'systemctl reload postfix'.

This looks like an issue with your system running the script that installs pbs (which is from an external repo), have a look in https://github.com/wofferl/proxmox-backup-arm64 to see if anything helps

[bhouseski]

no luck, nothing obvious in the link you provided to correct the error's I have seen.

[asylumexp]

can you just try doing the script but changing the name of the ct? Just change it from proxmox-backup-server to pbs or something

[bhouseski]

still errored out, though the log was different this time. see below specific spot where the error presented itself.

[asylumexp]

can you just manually set your dns in advanced settings to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1?

[bhouseski]

I tried that with no improvement.

I was able to get the script to work eventually, though. I took your advice and looked at my system. I am running a Radxa Rock 5B+, with an official Ambian image. When I compared this to a Rock5B (not plus) running a Dietpi image, the DietPi image worked flawlessly. So I looked over a bunch of setting in postfix, locale, and a few others, and did find subtle differences between the two. After changing the Rock 5B+ to mirror the Rock 5B, PBS would install.
