Hi,

I installed several CTs with AlmaLinux8 and RockyLinux8, but CentOS8 and RHEL8 should have the same problem.

Config:
Code: 
arch: amd64
cmode: shell
cores: 1
description: Rocky Linux 8%0A
hostname: gd-rocky8-2
memory: 2048
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr1,firewall=1,gw=10.7.255.254,hwaddr=DE:9E:4B:44:F2:81,ip=10.7.255.5/24,ip6=auto,mtu=9166,tag=2007,type=veth
ostype: centos
rootfs: root:vm-729-disk-0,size=4G
swap: 0
unprivileged: 1

This generates a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

Bash: 
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=10.7.255.5
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.7.255.254
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6ADDR=auto

NetworkManager does not recognize this config or ignores it, nmtui does not shows this config.
I tried to create a config /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 by nmtui:

Bash: 
TYPE=Ethernet
PROXY_METHOD=none
BROWSER_ONLY=no
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=10.7.255.5
PREFIX=8
GATEWAY=10.7.255.245
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy
NAME="Wired connection 1"
UUID=f47e3323-51aa-37cf-938e-d9bc0a4a9391
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
AUTOCONNECT_PRIORITY=-999

It seems, NetworkManager requires additional fields, which are not provided by proxmox, yet.
My suggestion would be, it is IPV6ADDR=auto, because the logs shows:

Code: 
Jun 14 21:02:48 gd-rocky8-2 NetworkManager[447]: <warn>  [1623704568.0510] ifcfg-rh: load[/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0]: failure to read file: Invalid IP6 address 'auto'

But after removing it, it does not work, yet:

This shows us, that “Wired connection 1” (generated by NetworkManager) instead of eth0 will be used, yet.
I checked, which field are needed to accept a generated file. The UUID-field is mandatory.

So, to support CentOS8/RHEL8/AlmaLinux8/RockyLinux8, you have to add UUID[ICODE] and you must remove [ICODE]IP6ADDR=auto.
I haven't tested this with older CentOS/..., yet.

I've tested it with centos7, too. My config works with and without NetworkManager.
Intresting NetworkManager on centos7 does not like IP6ADDR=auto, too, so this bug already exists on older CentOS/RHEL.
So, to remove it, works fine.

My patch:

Any news on that?
There are not other workarounds (to apply inside the container) other than editing such script?
