Displaying IP of container in GUI?

[jeffsui]

So for VMs (probably running the qemu-agent) I'm able to see the IP listed in the summary tab of the PVE gui. For containers the best i can find is go to the network tab, look at the Mac address and then query my router to find the IP.

VM Status:


Container Status



Container network tab:


Is there a way to get the IP from the GUI or is this not possible?


Thanks!

I know i can run:

lxc-info -n <CONTAINER ID>

To get the IP - it would just be nice if this was in the GUI somewhere...

Click the container name in GUI and then click Network tab and you can see the IP there.

So for me that ONLY works if I've set a static IP



Which is why I asked the question ... (DHCP here nada)


NON DHCP -> i get an IP address...

This is the answer, and there is are good comments in the bug report. It would be great to be able to see the IP address assigned via DHCP to the container without having to know a command line command.

I'm having the same issues though I think I know my IP address I'm struggling to connect to Portainer for the first time on installing it. It gave me an IP address and was told to add:9000 at the end of it but it's not loading the browser or finding it so not sure if it is the correct IP address or the correct port. Any clues or help me great!

over 4 years and GUI still not uptated to pull details from
lxc-info -n <CONTAINER ID>

I guess at least it shows MAC so that will help me when identifying in mikrotiks gui

I wrote a temporary systemd script to modify the tag of lxc to display the IP as a transitional solution for UI support.

Due to the fact that the tag of PVE does not support `:`, only IPv4 can be set.

THANK YOU

Thank you so much. It makes life easier with a very simple solution.
Maybe Proxmox can re-place the IP from the TAG in the GUI.
Seems small development effort to me, but I may be wrong, I'm not a coder.

I've been doing the ip tags manueally this will save me time. Thanks for making this available.

As paid proxmox customer I would like to ask when this issue will be addressed. This is really annoying and makes ansible inventory plugin a bit unusable...

Thank you.. I used to keep track of the IP in notes, now i use this script!

I know that's not what's asked initially, but in my case to remember the IP of the VM/containers that I want to have a fixed IP I set the static DHCP in the router like:
CT/VM ID -> IP
100 -> 192.168.1.100
101 -> 192.168.1.101
and so on...

obviously this doesn't work for the question: i start a new container, i want to know its IP without assigning it a static IP... but it's something..

(I do that in this way because I prefer to set all the static ips of my network in a single place if i need that, so i leave dhcp for all the containers in proxmox)

in the host shell i can use: pct exec <ctid> ip a and look for the IP there, but agree this HAS to be built in somehow :|
