Accessing VM via IP Address

[thusband]

I created a VM and installed EndeavourOS. I can access it through the console but can't on another home network laptop. I'm pretty sure I have QEMU installed. Shouldn't I be able to run the OS using the IP address that shows in the summary of the VM?

I'm probably missing something very simple

Thanks for any hints.

Hi,

You have to check if the network on your laptop is the same as the VM connected to, and test the ping between your laptop and the VM.

Ideally yes. However its very easy to misconfigure networks. Can I see the
/etc/network/interfaces of your proxmox and ip addr of both host and guest?

Yes, everything is on my home network and I can get into another VM that has Home Assistant. Would there be a port I need to add to the IP address?

It depends how you want to access it, ssh or remote desktop, if remote desktop, then via vnc or parsec or what?
If ssh, then make sure that ssh is running.
Not sure if EndeavourOS uses a firewall that block everything incoming by default, you have to figure that out.

If there isn't any firewall, then can you ping the vm at least?

Thanks all but this is all way over my head right now. I'll live with using the console until I understand it all a little more.

I figured it would be as easy as Home Assistant was.

Thx again.

It would be way easier for us to help you if we know more about your setup

For example cat /etc/network/interfaces and ip addr could give us clues what we are looking at?

Edit: Also cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf whould be interesting

Yes I certainly understand but I'm struggling just getting the initial information.

Okay let's ask differently, how are you accessing home assistant?

Means that you know the IP of home assistant at least?

So as you found out the ip of home assistant, you can find out the ip of endeavour os.

Then you can simply ping that ip.
ping 192.168.xxx.xxx
On your Windows terminal on your pc...

Is it this one you are looking for??

In left side, click you VM EndeavourOS
In the top panel, (just under Create VM) click >_Console

I also install NoMachine, because you can copy/past text (not really possible in noVNC)

Yes, exactly. The IP that shows in the summary of the HA VM plugged into the browser pulls it up but the IP that shows in the EOS VM doesn't connect.

As you can open the endeavour os via console, you can open simply inside endeavour os, the terminal and simply type: ip a

Then post the output here

Yes, I've been doing that but I want to be able to call it up using the IP in any browser on any of my home network browsers. I'm able to do that with Home Assistant.

NoMachine looks interesting. Copying, pasting and keeping track of open tabs is a pain. Then some screens won't copy.

 

[thusband]

Yes, exactly. The IP that shows in the summary of the HA VM plugged into the browser pulls it up but the IP that shows in the EOS VM doesn't connect.

Wait. Are you opening the IP ove EndeverousOS in the browser expecting to get a GUI the same way Home Assistant provides a website? That is not going to work.

Yes, but I can't copy the output from the console. It doesn't copy with either ctrl > enter or right clicking.

I thought I'd get the EndeavourOS dashboard like I see in the Proxmox console. If that isn't possible then I've sent everybody on a wild goose chase and I'm sorry.

192.168.1.52 is your ip.
Go to your computer/laptop whatever, open the terminal and: ping 192.168.1.52

Its not a "dashboard" what you see, its a normal Desktop Environment (like you have on your Laptop). You can connect to your Home assistant that way because it provides a website to connect to. EndeverOS does not provide something like that.

There are ways to configure something similar to what you are expecting but they would be quite some work
