I've installed full debian on top of Proxmox because this is my desktop development system, a NUC with one NIC and one graphic card/display. I've created two containers....one with home assistant, the other with PiHole. Their IP addresses are:

Debian/Proxmox 192.168.254.200
PiHole 192.168.254.220/admin
Home Assistant 192.168.254.219:8006

I can reach piHole from the Debian desktop....but I can't reach the proxmox GUI at 192.168.254.200:8006 or Home Assistant.

How does one link between Proxmox containers? I'd like to be able to manage both HA and PiHole (and anything else I add) from the debian desktop.
 
hi,

can you check if you are accessing the GUI correctly with https? https://192.168.254.200:8006 should be working in your case.

if it's unreachable then try from the desktop with https://localhost:8006

if it still does not work, then most likely the GUI process is having an issue. if you have a debian installation you should check /etc/hosts file. when running hostname --ip-address you should be seeing only 192.168.254.200

to enter any container from your command line, use pct enter CTID command (with CTID being your container's ID)
 
Thanks....I was missing httpS.....and I had the wrong port for home assistant. ie. dumb user errors.
