I can't connect into proxmov via https://10.0.0.15:8006
My server's local is 10.0.0.15 (external ip is 192.168.122.1), My gateway (router) is 10.0.0.1. Do i need to put hsd1.md.comcast.net in somewhere?
I'm not running a firewall or a switch yet. Im checking it from a laptop INSIDE the LAN. I don't need to open the port through my router's firewall app, because it doesn't say the server is connected yet, so it's not letting me open the port.

Thank you

Are you sure that your browser tries to connect via https? You just typed the ip address, which usually means that http is used.

A side note: using .local as internal tld is highly discouraged, as .local is reserved for mDNS/Bonjour/ZeroConf devices.

Ya, i made sure it was https:// when i am checking.

Oh! interesting!! Ya i don't want mDNS, or ZeroConf. What should I use instead of local, or should i just put pve.BasedHosting as a hostname, or something like pve.BasedHosting.localhost ?

I also tried 10.0.0.1 as my DNS, ..and I still get nothing when checking https://10.0.0.15:8006

Thank you!
 
You can take whatever is not already assigned with IANA. :) I have .lan at home, for example.
The dns entry is just for Proxmox to resolve outgoing dns requests, this can't cause the WebUI not being reachable.
What is the output of systemctl status pveproxy.service?

Gotcha! TY!!

No, it just keeps loading, then says can't be reached (https://10.0.0.15/8006)

Maybe I should try a reinstall with pve.BasedHosting.ian

Opening ports only deals with me trying to access from outside the LAN, correct? So the fact that i don't have 8006 forwarded yet shouldn't matter? My Xfinity app isn't recognizing the device (Server) for some reason. I feel like that might possibly be the issue (it not being recognized). I wish they let you set port forwards manually through the router still, and not through the app. Maybe i should just restart the router and disconnect a couple other servers that are connected to it (that are recognized by the router).

If you're on the same subnet (10.0.0.xxx) then there is no need for an open port.
If you're coming from outside, then yes.

Are you able to ping the pve host from your other machine and vice versa?
 
Hi,

the second posted screenshot seems to me as IPMI. What kind of server/hardware do you have? Do you have IPMI port on it, separate from the OS nic?
Try to ping 10.0.0.15:
Bash:
ping 10.0.0.15

I am using a Dell Poweredge R720. I'm not sure if there is an IPMI port actually, I only found this article pertaining to my server and IPMI:
Dell R720 PowerEdge Server Hardware Monitoring in ELK (The 2nd screenshot was from the Proxmox virtual Environment on the server) I have nothing else installed so far, just proxmox, I only just installed the server driver updates, using two 300GB Drives set up as a 600GB virtual Drive..

The correct pings i think:

From the Server/PVE:

From a computer within the lan:

Well, if 10.0.0.166 is the address of your laptop, then Proxmox doesn't have a working network connection.
That explains why you can't reach the WebGUI.
Please post your /etc/network/interfaces then and the result of ip a.

Thank you sooo much for the diagnostic help. I've run in to so many problems since i've started.

I'm having trouble getting "/etc/network/interfaces" to post. i googled it, but didn't find an answer. Would it be difficult to explain to me how to retrieve. I assume you are talking about from the pve/server.

But, this is the "ip a" info :). (woops, i cut off the number "1000" on the right side of the picture)

Yes, iDRAC is how it's called in Dell.
Can you run the following commands:

cat /etc/network/interfaces

ethtool -i eno1
 
Ethtool is probably not installed. Haven't heard of iDrac so far but if this is the IPMI then it's no wonder that there is no connection.
Good thing that the ipmi port of my supermicro boards don't show up in the system. :)
You have to change vmbr0 to use one of the eno interfaces, then it should work.
nano /etc/network/interfaces
Then change the line bridge_ports idrac to bridge_ports eno1 and hit Ctrl+X and then Y.

For some reason the bridge is configured to use the idrac port (bridge_ports idrac). Run the following command to substitute in the file:

sed -i -e 's#bridge_ports idrac$#bridge_ports eno1#g' /etc/network/interfaces

Check if it's correctly changed:
cat /etc/network/interfaces

Once ready, reboot the server and see if you will have access.

Edit - fixing the sed command
