Networking Configuration not applied on VyOS container

[mbent]

Hi there, I have built a VyOS template, based on the VyOS rolling ISO. That works, it boots.

When I adjust the network settings on the container prior to container boot, the IP Address and gateway addresses on the interfaces do not get set. The interfaces appear, and the MAC addresses are passed through, but none of the IP Address configuration. If I do make a change on a specific network interface via proxmox, that interface does get updated in the container. What could be happening here?

I can't reproduce this on the CentOS container - It works as expected.

It looks like VyOS is using Netplug.... Any idea on how netplug works with Proxmox?

for the containers, proxmox have specific code for each distro (centos , debian (ifupdown), ubuntu (netplan),...) and write the config inside the container at start.

so specific code for vyos need to be implemented first

another way could be to use a vm + cloudinit, it seem to be implemented in vyos

I'd like to use a container as I believe it's much lighter than a VM. I'm planning to run many vyos containers for testing - I think cloudinit would only be via a VM

yes,only vm.

you can still setup network manually in ct in vyos for now. (or you need to implement a vyos config plugin for lxc or make a request on bugzilla.proxmox.com )

Hi
I am interested in installing Vyos as Container(NOT VM) on Proxmox. Would you please tell me how I can make Container from Vyos iso?
