I have installed a fresh VPS Ubuntu 24.04. When I check configuration I get
Quotas are not enabled on the filesystem / which contains home directories under /home and email files under /home. Quota editing has been disabled

But it seems that it is enabled
root@server-hobbycharken:~# systemctl status quota

What can be the problem?

The quota service running and enabled says nothing about which filesystems are mounted with quota support.

There are a few possible explanations:

Enabling quotas required remounting the filesystem, and the installer cannot remount the / filesystem, because it’s the / filesystem.

So, the system has to be rebooted to remount / with quotas enabled. Rebooting is the solution in this case.

Or:

You’re using a filesystem that does not support quotas or that the Virtualmin installer does not know how to enable quotas for (we support all of the ones used by our supported distros by default, but if you’re using zfs or something else unusual that doesn’t use the usual quota tools and files, it won’t work). There is probably no solution for this.

Or:

You’re on a container-based system (e.g. Virtuozzo or OpenVZ) and you don’t have control over your filesystems, and thus they cannot be mounted with quotas. There is no solution for this.
