Hi there

I am hoping to find someone who has recently setup Proxmox using either OVH template or Debian 9 install with Proxmox installed over - and than procedded to create a Debian 9 vm.

I am new to dedicate servers - but have been using unmanaged vps for a few years now.

This is a step up for me and I have been going around in circles for a few days now.

MY Setup

I have an additional block of ip addresses - and all I want to do is create a Debian Stretch vm using one of these ip addresses (ha ha sounds like it should be simple)

I have tried

I have followed the official OVH guide - adding the MAC address to the vm before starting and than editing the /etc/network/interfaces (of the vm)
I have also tried a great many other suggestions that I have found while searching Google and up until know have not managed to successfully ping my vm ever.

Is there anyone willing to assist me, to get started ?

I would really be most grateful.

Kind Regards
Brad
 
Update - I have this working now.
It took quite a while to get this running.
I think the problem is that there are a number of different guides and threads all offering advice - none of which actually just work..
If you come across this thread - stuck as I was - you are welcome to reply and I will share what little I have learnt
All the best

Hi can you share with me how you did it because am using ovh master and I need to auto assign the failover ips to my vms automatically but I need to also assign the mac address for it to work.
 
Hi there
I do not know if it is possible to auto assign the failover ips - As you need to manually add the mac address - unless you try and use the same mac address for all your ips (there is an option to do that when creating the virtual mac address - right.. )

Hope you get it working
 
Did you guys figure this issue out? I have figured out how to bind a public IP on my proxmox host and a different IP(failover) on my proxmox guest(vm). Let me know how this goes for you.

On Proxmox Debian Buster Host my /etc/network/interfaces reflects the following:

Code:
# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0

auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet dhcp
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

And on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS guest VM my /etc/network/interfaces reflects the following:
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto ens18
iface ens18 inet static
        address <public failover IP>
        netmask 255.255.255.255
        pointopoint <public failover IP gateway>
        gateway <public failover IP gateway>
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
        dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
        dns-search .
 
Anyone with Debian 9 insight please assist. I have several OVH servers and never have problems setting up VMs with internet using their guide. I've successfully and easily setup Debian 10, CentOS 8, Ubuntu 18 & 20, Windows with no issue.

I finally got Debian 9 to work on the network but for the life of me I can't extend the disk, so the template is stuck at the base disk size. I've followed 100 different guides with no success. If anyone has a Debian 9 template that responds to disk resize via PvE, I'd be super appreciative
