I'm facing the same issue and I used this repo's scripts

Are you still facing issues?

After a fresh install for PBS it works fine but after using the pbs post-install script it stops working, ssh doesn't respond and GUI not available at all, but pct enter X still works and ip a shows the correct ip

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm facing the same issue and can't figure out why.
