So you definitely still need a local DNS running. AdGuard Home, PiHole, Technitium, Hell your router probably has a local dns server you can enable and add some entries to it.
But once you setup a dns server, you’ll need to point all network clients to the dns server address so it can start resolving the web address to the ip in question.
homeassistant.local
So then this isn't what you set it to during the setup.
I could not find any useful information about this though
Because it's not a thing.
Proxmox doesn't automatically edit your router settings to add itself so you can connect, it simply allows all connections from local sources until you can set it up securely. If the mDNS isn't working, just visit the IP address.
So there's 5 methods in there of installing HA, not to mention having to take apart the scripts to figure out what they do in order to help you troubleshoot this.
Not sure what you expect of asking a question like this with no useful info about what you actually have in front of you.
Sorry, i thought i was clear.
I used the proxmox ve helper script from here: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to install ha os.
The local domain does not get resolved how it should, i hoped someone here might have hosted ha in proxmox themselves or ran into a similar problem, or could give me a hint what to check
If you click the HA header, there's 5 different scripts there, each install HAOS in a different way. As a container in an LXC, as a "baremetal" LXC, as a VM, as a Pimox VM, or as a Podman container.
Hard to say without knowing which method you used to install HomeAssistant.
But I never found mdns .local addresses to be very reliable. They work 80-90% of the time, but the remaining 10-20% are a hassle.
Instead I'd recommend you install PiHole (in a docker container is easiest). PiHole is a DNS server intended for network-level ad-blocking. But it also have a handy feature of defining local DNS entries, so you can have HomeAssistant.myhome or HomeAssistant.whatever (.local should not be used with PiHole local DNS because .local is meant for mdns)
Thanks for the advice, i was thinking about it anyways :) i used the proxmox ve helper scripts: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to install it
