I'm not sure where the best place to list this is, so my apologies if this is the wrong place. I frequently-enough go through the process of converting Debian to Proxmox, so I wrote a Chef cookbook to do the job. It supports Debian Jessie (PVE 4.x) and Wheezy (PVE 3.x). You do not need to...

Thanks for your reply. I may have been unclear, but that's what I did -- I tried configuring the network via the GUI (and later via CLI), and while everything looked okay, it did not work. It wasn't until I set `lxc.network.link = vmbr0` that I was able to communicate with the rest of the network.

Hello, I recently did a Debian Jessie -> Proxmox conversion, but unfortunately am having issues with NAT on the containers. No matter what I tried, I could not get the container to ping the internal IP of the host when following the docs on the wiki. I found that I had to set lxc.network.link...

I am working on a tool that provisions containers in Proxmox, and I wanted to rely on this for a couple of reasons: 1. Doing a restore is much faster than destroying a container, then creating one 2. I need the vmid to remain the same, and doing a restore guarantees that, while a...

In short, if I create a new container with an Ubuntu template, and later do something like: pvesh create /nodes/mc02/openvz -restore 1 -force 1 -ostemplate 'xtemplates:vztmpl/centos-6-standard_6.3-1_i386.tar.gz' -vmid 102 everything works fine, with the exception of networking. When I do vzctl...

Via the API, there doesn't appear to be a way to create a container without specifying the vmid. To get the vmid, I would do GET /api2/json/cluster/nextid. My concern with this approach is that in a situation where there are multiple people requesting resources at the same time, the same vmid...

Hello, I noticed that if I have an Ubuntu container, and later do a vzrestore of a CentOS container, the OSTEMPLATE variable is not changed in the container config. The side effect of that is that when I start the new container, I get: root@mc02:~# vzctl start 102 Starting container ...
