Hello,

I just tried setting up proxmox and im not sure i set up the network settings correctly because I can't access the server via the webui. The default ip (192.168. 100.2) seemed to be out of my gateway range (10.0.x.x) so I manually changed it to be in range. I for some reason can't connect to the server on my pc or phone so I'm assuming I have done something wrong in setting up the server. I have gone through a couple threads and nothing seems to resolve my issue so if anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Can you login to the Proxmox host console using a physical keyboard and display (or IPMI)? What is the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces and ip a?
 
i think the answer to the first question is i have a keyboard directly connected to the host idk if theres another way to connect remotely (should i try ssh)

im manually writing the outputs below from another pc



Code:
root@cdns01:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address 10.0.0.125/24
    gateway 10.0.0.1
    bridge-ports eno1
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0

iface wlo2 inet manual



Code:
root@cdns01:~# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

Yes, please check if SSH works.

A readable screenshot would work but I do appreciate the effort to convert it to text.
Code:
root@cdns01:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address 10.0.0.125/24
    gateway 10.0.0.1
    bridge-ports eno1
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0

iface wlo2 inet manual
If your gateway/router has IPv4 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.125 is not in its DHCP-range then this looks fine.
Code:
root@cdns01:~# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master umbr0 state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 94:c6:91:a0:f3:c9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname enp1s0f0
3: wlo2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 7c:2a:31:91:3c:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname wlp0s12f0
5: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 94:c6:91:a0:f3:c9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.0.0.125/24 scope global vmbr0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::96c6:91ff:fea0:f3c9/64 scope link
        valid_lft forever preferred_left forever
It appears that you have a physical connection that works. Please check your gateway/router and make sure 10.0.0.125 is not in the DHCP range. What is the IPv4 of the system you are trying to connect from? Can you ping -c3 10.0.0.125 from that other system?

Are you sure you are connecting to https://10.0.0.125:8006/? Maybe there is another reason teh Proxmox services are not running. What is the output of systemctl --failed and systemctl | grep pve?
 
ssh is having issues (ssh: connect to host 10.0.0.125 port 22: Connection timed out)

i cant seem to find how to check if something is in/out of dhcp range as i have one of those isp tower thingies but the routers ip is 10.0.0.1. the pc im typing this from on the same networks ip is 10.0.0.59. my phones ip is 10.0.0.250. i assumed picking a number between the two would work but i honestly have no clue.

idrk how ip works but the ip before i put proxmox on this device was 10.0.0.97 should i change to that?

when i ping i get
Code:
Reply from 10.0.0.59: Destination host unreachable.

yes even clicking that link doesnt work.

Code:
root@cdns01:~# systemctl --failed
    UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
0 loaded unites listed
