Assigning a Public IP to one of my Containers

[FrankB]

I have a dedicated server with 5 ips.
The first one assigned to eth0.
I created a bridge vmbr0 with the same IP as eth0.
Then gave on of my openvz containers one of my available static IPS, but I'm getting no ping.

Is there a guide I can follow for assigning static ips to containers? Is there something I'm not inserting into the BRIDGED PORTS text box that I should be?

With Virtualbox I used to bridge the interface and apply the IP directly to VM.

Using Proxmox 4.1.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
   address  x.x.x.138
   netmask  255.255.255.248
   gateway  x.x.x.137
   broadcast  x.x.x.143
   network x.x.x.136
   dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1
   dns-search hospemex.com
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
   address  192.168.0.1
   netmask  255.255.255.0
   bridge_ports none
   bridge_stp off
   bridge_fd 0

   post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  post-up  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s '192.168.0.1/24' -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
  post-down iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s '192.168.0.1/24' -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE


auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
  address  x.x.x.138
  netmask  255.255.255.248
  bridge_ports none
  bridge_stp off
  bridge_fd 0

  up ip route add x.x.x.139/29 dev vmbr1
  up ip route add x.x.x.140/29 dev vmbr1
  up ip route add x.x.x.141/29 dev vmbr1
   up ip route add x.x.x.142/29 dev vmbr1

I'm putting a public IP on the VM interface and using x.x.x.138 as the gateway.

Problem resolved in the meantime?

If not: there are some contradictions in your description:

- if you assign an IP address to eth0 you must not assign the same to vmbr0

- Proxmox 4.1 does not support openvz

 

[FrankB]

Sorry, then it's not openvz its just a container.
It doesn't seem to work when using a different public ip either.

Bump! I've got the exact same question. I just can't figure out how to get internet in the container

Yeah, kinda sucks right? I have a project at the office I would like to recommend Proxmox for, but I can't even get it to work right.

 

[Queless]

Yeah. If you make a breakthrough let me know

 

[Richard]

just a container.

= lxc !?

If you post your config file

/etc/pve/lxc/<ct-id>.conf

we can say more.

 

[Queless]

Sorry for the late reply.

 

[Queless]

here's /etc/network/interfaces too

edit: yes, with LXC
