Im new to proxmox

[Geist-JP]

Yeah, one of those guys...
Anyway!
Followed countless tutorials and spoke on reddit and my ISP forum but still cant assign an IP address to my local proxmox?
It wont open the desired address 192.168.0.254:8006
Fails to connect
And I tried to assign a static IP with my router but been I need to assign it to proxmox locally but how do i do this if i cant connect locally?? below is example of the welcome screen, not my one using 192.168.0.254:8006

This is what i get when trying to log on using a diff machine to access the server of proxmox




The above IP's are all dynamic not static but if i chose 1 to be static it still wont work. Like someone said, i need to assign a static ip to proxmox locally but how do i do this if the screen is black and cant load the darn VE for proxmox!

You are mixing up DHCP reservation (e.g. on SOHO router box) and static IP assignment (on the client).

You simply specify the static IP during PVE install (to the installer, manually - one that you do know nothing else uses and cannot be DHCP assigned to something else). The IP has to be on the same network with same mask (so e.g. 192.168.0.x/24) that your router actually will route for you.

If you missed doing it during PVE install, it might be easiest for you to just reinstall or you have to log in from the local console and change it manually).

From the screenshosts above it simply appears you have chosen a static IP 192.168.20.12, but your router only routes 192.168.0.0/24 - so only addresses that look like 192.168.0.x, not 192.168.20.x.

You set static IP 192.168.20.12 address when you install Proxmox.
You have to change from console.
Change in file
/etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts

And if I misunderstood and the screenshots are from different scenarios, then you need to say more about "black screen" and how did your install go on the machine in question.

Oh sorry, the 192.168.20 is just example from a screen shot on the web. My actual ip address assigned to the proxmox mini pc is 192.168.0.254

Are you perhaps confusing you getting no access to the GUI via a web browser and the "black" console screen that shows on the display of the machine itself?

How did you install PVE and what happened after reboot?

 

[milew]

show us your files /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts

 

[Geist-JP]

show us your files /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts

I re installed proxmox but giving it 192.168.0.50 not 254 and I changed static to dhcp

this is what i have for interface:
GNU nano 7.2auto loiface lo inet loopbackiface episo inet manual auto umbroiface unbro inet dhcpaddress 192.168.0.50gateway 192.168.0.1bridge-ports enpis0bridge-stp off bridge-fd oiface wlol inet manualsource /etc/network/interfaces.d/s

and this for hosts:

GNU nano 7.2127.0.0.1 localhost. localdomain localhost192.168.0.50 pue. local pue# The following lines are desirable for IPu6 capable hosts::1ip6-localhost ip6-loopbackfe00: :0 ip6-localnetff00::0 ip6-mcastprefixff02::1 ipo-allnodesff02::2 ipo-allrouters ff02: :3 ip6-allhosts

ISO from flash drive, then restarted pc with flash drive out and continued to follow all instructions and a lot of youtube videos

maybe this o not 0
enpso not enpis0
if you set dhcp
remove line address and gateway from /etc/network/interfaces

check what is real interface name
ip a

To be honest I am completely lost in the description of the problem or the interfaces (you may want to enclose it into [ CODE ] ... [/ CODE ] block), how exactly, did you end up with this network configuration following what procedure?

What does the following commands return on your machine?

ip a

cat /etc/network/interfaces

 

[gfngfn256]

I re installed proxmox but giving it 192.168.0.50

So now if you go to another PC on your network and enter https://192.168.0.50:8006 what do you get?

 

[milew]

Ok
This command show your real interfaces and IP addresses

ip a

interface name uses in /etc/network/interfaces

cat /etc/network/interfaces

when you show your /etc/network/interfaces is mishmash

iface episo inet manual
auto umbro
iface unbro inet dhcp
address 192.168.0.50
gateway 192.168.0.1
bridge-ports enpis0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

if you use iface unbro inet dhcp, remove line from /etc/network/interfaces
address 192.168.0.50
gateway 192.168.0.1

 

[esi_y]

iface episo inet manual
auto umbro
iface unbro inet dhcp
address 192.168.0.50
gateway 192.168.0.1
bridge-ports enpis0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

Thanks for reformatting it, I realised the OP - as he might not have SSH access either - is literally typing it over. Maybe a picture of the screen would be simplest to show.

But I still don't know how to get DHCP from any ISO install of PVE (have I missed something in the new installers)?

 

[Geist-JP]

changed to enpso not enps0
changed back to static
ip a says vmbro is 1192.168.0.50/32 not the typical 24? or is this normal to have 32?

no, your router has 24 bit mask

 

[esi_y]

At this point it I would literally suggest to see what this says:

ifup -a --no-act ; echo "status: $?"

Feel free to snap a picture of the screen.

you've got netmark instead of netmask
Anyway remove that whole "netmark" line, & instead add /24 to the end of the address so that you now have:
192.168.0.50/24
