How Do I Set Up a static IP address Using Proxmox, Windows Server, and Ubuntu for Bitwarden Hosting?

[noob12345]

I'm currently configuring a nested virtualization server, using Proxmox as my main hypervisor and Windows Server as my nested server. On this nested Windows Server, I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 Server, which I will use to host Bitwarden. During the Ubuntu server installation, I was unable to connect to my network while manually configuring IPv4.

My current configurations are as follows:

• Subnet: 192.168.0.0/16
• Address: 192.168.11.1
• Gateway: 192.168.0.1
• Name Servers: 8.8.8.8
• Search Domains: Blank

After saving the configurations, it attempts to 'Apply Changes,' then defaults to 'Continue Without Network.'

Then, when I check the IPv4 configurations, the Gateway and Name Servers are blank.
I've tried pinging my default gateway 192.168.0.1 from my windows server and it is working.

Hey,

do VMs generally have a working network? So if you install Ubuntu in a VM directly on your PVE host, does it work there?

Hello!
Yes I have Bitwarden installed on a Ubuntu VM on my PVE host (107).
I'm able to assign a static IP, connect to my network, and internet.

So, if VMs do have working network then it looks like whatever the Windows Server is doing messes up the network for its VMs, and for that you probably want to like at something like [1], or [2].

Thank you for the resource, the issue was the lack the virtual switch my Windows Server. I did not create one so the Ubuntu server did not have connectivity to the internet.
