Hello everyone,
I have no choice but to ask for your help. I'm a beginner in homelab and I'd like to install Proxmox VE. I have a problem that seems to be networks, which is not my forte. Here's the information I've gathered to help me. Thank you in advance for your time.

Code:
(made with png to text converter)
root@pve:"# ip address
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOHER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp6s0: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST,UP,LOHER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vmbre state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e8:9c:25:76:49:0d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 10:68:38:c8:09:3f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: vmbro: <BROADCAST,HULTICAST,UP,LOHER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e8:9c:25:76:49:0d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.68.119/24 scope global vmbro
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::ea9c:25ff:fe76:490d/64 scope link
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Code:
root@pve:"# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface enp6s0 inet manual
auto vmbre
iface vmbre inet static
    address 192.168.68.119/24
    gateway 192.168.68.1
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    bridge-ports enp6s0
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0

iface wlp5se inet manual
Source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

Code:
root@pve:"# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.68.119 pve.zipanos.com pve

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
tfe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcast prefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


Code:
root@pve:"# nmap -p 8006 192.168.68.119
Starting Nmap 7.93 (https://nmap.org) at 2024-02-20 21:10 CET

Ping google.com OK
Ping another computer in network OK
Ping pve from another computer OK
curl -k localhost:8006 OK
curl -k 192.168.68.119:8006 from another computer KO
Code:
curl https://192.168.68.119:6008/
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.68.119 port 6008 after 2063 ms: Couldn't connect to server

By the way i've made it work with a debian to Proxmox installation but i want to make a default installation.

Thx a lot for reading.

Hello,

The port for the web interface in a PVE server is 8006.
You curl'ed to 6008 port.

Moreover, your 'ip address' command shows a 'vmbro' interface, while /etc/network/interfaces displays 'vmbre'.

Default configuration is 'vmbr0', then 'vmbr1', 'vmbr2' and so on;
I suggest you stick to this naming convention to avoid unexpected problems.

Kind regards,
