lost ip address of proxmox ve

[wbravin]

Too bad you haven't posted what's in them, it could have been a simple edit and reboot to get you back GUI and working node, generally.

I think i found the network issue

My backup server has a static ip of 192.168.1.120 which is in conflict with i did in configuring the network.

This could be readably fixed only if

/etc/network/interfaces
and
- /etc/hosts

were editable

how can we make the 2 files editable i did try sudo nano no change.

nano /etc/hhost shows
127.0.0.1 as localhost
192.168.1.125 as pve.home

i did edit interfaces
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.120/24
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge-ports en01
bridge-stp off
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 2-4094

How can you tell files are not writeable?

There's no sudo on PVE install, you are logged in as root by default.

Did you check if you can create a file on that filesystem as suggested above?

Hi Thank you for your input

Yes i did add to the iface vmbr0 inet static and address 192.168.1.120/24 and it all was working well until i tried to add opnsense

When i go and type nano /etc/network/interfaces to edit vnbr0 once i edit the line address 192.168.1.120/24 ctrl x the y to save i get a red line at the bottom of the screen.

I did try to create a new file and again i got the same red message

I do login as root

Can you just go to your home directory, try to create a file and see what happened:

cd
touch temporary
ls -lah

Maybe also check if your entire filesystem is not read-only:

mount | grep "(ro"

Post the result, iDRAC screenshot or picture of screen is fine.

Thank you your comment

when i typed cd
then touch temporary
I got

touch: cannot touch "temporary" read-only file system

Alright, apparently you have a bigger problem, any comments about how you booted?

HI I did this from the concole. no through idrac. Cannot add a picture from phone, this forum server mtell me that the file is too big.

te results were

ramfs on /run/credentials/systemd

tmepfiles-setup-dev.service type ramfs (ro.nosuid,nodev,noexec, realtime, mode=700
the same for syctl.service

After the poeron the server goes through the paces very quickly. However i do see 7 -8 lines (guessing the mumber) pf red lines

I finally investigated the time and process to reinstall everything. I will go that route.

I plan to instal a pcimvme board with 4 mvmes. 2x 256GB mirror for proxmox boot a 2 500gb as vm storage

I will install in proxmo truenas and HAOS, wireguard and windows or ubuntu desktop, I will move OPnsense and pihole to a mini pc

I tank you so much If you have a github page I would show my gratitude for your help by offering a beer.

Once a gain thank you for the lessons.the patience and the understanding

Alright then, it was really strange you booted read-only, it would be necessary to check the bootlog (but you were not able to upload any outputs) from journalctl -b > boot.log, for example.

You may want to do the same with your good configs though, copy them away, before you reinstall.

PS I just hope this will NOT be ZFS install that is going to destroy SSDs.

And don't worry about beers, I did not really help you any much. Plan your network carefully, keep the network configuration simple.

Thank you so much for your help and patience.

I just installed proxmox 8 and now (and for today) i will limit my self to performing updates and removing the subscription message. Then I'm done for today

Tomorrow i will ensure that the drives and usb's will be all loaded and ready to passthrough to truenas and HA

Once again thank you

 

[wbravin]

hello all

just to provide you with an update

During this week i installed and configured proxmox its vms and lxcs, including truenas home assistant pi hole and wireguard

I am happy to say that all my automations including geofencing, remote access backups and replications are all running and automated.

Thank you all for your patience, teachings and support that made this re-build painless and possible.

you may consider this case closed

Thank you again all of you
