Create a vm with an os of your choice
go to vm -> more -> convert to template

 

[amy saxena]

Ok thanks,

I created a new VM with CentOS and able to access it using Console option.

However, I'm not able to SSH to it, can you please provide me detailed instructions?

Also, when I try to ssh using its still connected to master Ubuntu instead of CentOS VPS.

Please help.

There should be no additional steps required to ssh in.

Can you ping the CentOS VM, does SSH run?

 

[amy saxena]

Yes, ssh is running and I can see the status from console.

But, when I try to ssh to it through Putty its connecting to main Ubuntu node instead of newly created CentOS VPS.

Please help.

 

[r.jochum]

Do you use the right IP in Putty? Do you mean "main PVE node?"

 

[amy saxena]

Yes, I use the correct IP address of vmbr1 but it's connecting to main node instead of VPS.

Please help. :/

if you put an address on a bridge, it belongs to the host
instead put the ip in the container network configuration

 

[amy saxena]

Can you please provide detail instructions how to do this? I'm new user.

 

[dcsapak]

you have to configure your network inside you guest, e.g. in debian use /etc/network/interfaces
check the manual of your guest os to do this

Follow this you tube video along, it shows creation of an Ubuntu VM as a container, setting an IP for the VM and how to enable SSH access for the root user using the console tools in Proxmox itself.
