[SOLVED] Container takes 5 minutes to show login prompt

[Kiergan]

Hello,

I am very new with using Proxmox and been following along with this video: Turning Proxmox Into a Pretty Good NAS .

The Problem:
It takes around 5 minutes for a container to present the login-prompt. (By that time I thought it was not doing anything at all.)

Proxmox 8.2.4 is running on a MSI B550 tomahawk with Ryzen 5 5700XT and 128 GB RAM

The same thing is happening with a Proxmox 8.2.2 running in a Virtualbox VM on a Ryzen 5 5600x

I had also tried to install some VM's and I had already given up on them because it looked like it was not doing anything, trying to start from an ISO.

I can provide more information, if needed, but I have no idea where to start.

Once started, I can login with SSH etc. and it looks OK.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

hi,

can you post the container config?

pct config ID

where ID is the vmid of the container..

Thanks for the reply.

root@fileserver:~# pct config 100
-bash: pct: command not found

Where do I need to type this?

found it:


root@pve:~# pct config 100
arch: amd64
cores: 2
features: nesting=1
hostname: fileserver
memory: 512
mp0: WDMIR1:subvol-100-disk-0,mp=/mnt/storage,backup=1,size=2000G
mp1: local-zfs:subvol-100-disk-1,mp=/mnt/nvme,backup=1,size=200G

for the virtual machine:

,ip6=dhcp,

do you really have an ipv6 dhcp server in your network? my guess is most likely not. in that case, the container waits up to 5 min for an ipv6 connection and then runs into a timeout. try setting this to 'static' with no ip address configured

 

[Kiergan]

OK, I go try that.
That might well be it.
I had not given it much thought, just set both to DHCP.
I think my fritzbox does not do IPv6 DHCP.
Thanks.

Edit: Yes, that was it. thanks again.
