Hello All,
I am new to proxmox and having trouble connecting to the internet like freedoN. It has to be the way the DNS is set up but messing with that last time is why I had to install it from scratch again. Once I lost the web interface, I couldn't get it back, no matter what I changed on the CLI.
1) I can ping 8.8.8.8, but I can't ping google.com.
2) I get the following error when I attempt to download an ISO using a link:
invalid server response: '500 Can't connect to releases.ubuntu.com:443 (Temporary failure in name resolution)' (500)
I have my cat /etc/network/interfaces
I have my cat /etc/resolv.conf
and my /etc/network/interfaces
If I were to open up my MAC OS and look at Network > TCP/IP my Router comes up as 192.168.1.1
This is week 2, install/setup attempt TWO the last time around, I had to reset everything, and I gave proxmox the benefit of the doubt because I screwed up by not having the server plugged into the internet, but this time I did have everything plugged in. I did an automated setup, I have NO switches, NO extra routers, NOTHING. I plugged the nic from the router from my ISP into the computer that I have proxmox on, then did a fresh install. I can access it from the web interface, but when I try to get the ubuntu ISO, it errors out, and when I try to ping a website, I get an error:
ping google.com
ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
My goals are simple:
1) install promox
2) learn to use promox
3) branch out into other IT as I need and grow my abilities.
I have been trying to follow this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT98CRl2KxKHnlbYhtABg6cF50bYa8Ulo for the past 2 weeks and at every turn, there is some hiccup from the setup that keeps me from just simply learning the system.
To proxmox:
I know you guys are great at what you do, and I am sure you are way beyond my understanding. However, I'm obviously not the only noob that gets stuck like this. So for all, we know
freedoN gave up or switched to something else. Sometimes people just want to plug in the computer, that they probably already invested in just for this purpose or repurposed it from an old computer, attach a hardline to a simple isp router, install and then learn proxmox. But since Proxmox doesn't connect like a MAC or Windows I now have to learn networking just to get to the part of learning Proxmox. All I ask is please take a look at your conversion rate of how many people download vs actually end up using the system. If the conversion rate is low, it just might be newbies are already intimidated to use and learn the system and not being able to plug in a computer they just bought and ran with it may deter them from learning more.
Is there even a tutorial out there that isn't run by some comp tia expert that will simply just explain in 45 min? "If you are a noob and all you have is the router your ISP gave you: plugin here, download here, see that address on (MAC, Windows, IOS) here's what that means, and here's what those other numbers mean now enter that number here, check this to make sure you have internet now let's learn proxmox." Wow amazing I guess since I'm not an expert and I was able to use this there is no other point in learning any other virtualizer and I should just grow and work with proxmox.
