Hey Keith,

The issue is probably that:
1. No bridge (vmbr0) is configured on your PVE host, and/or
2. The VM is not connected to the bridge, and/or
3. The network interface inside the Ubuntu VM needs to be configured

1. Go to Datacenter -> <node> -> System -> Network in the PVE UI, do you see a Linux bridge (vmbr0)? If not, create it, and assign it to your physical network interface.
2. Go to Datacenter -> <node> -> <vm> -> Hardware, is a Network Device configured? If not, click Add -> Network Device, and add the bridge from step 1.
3. Inside your Ubuntu VM,
a. Run ip addr, what do you see? It should show ens18 as UP.​
b. Run ip route, what do you see? The output should look something like this:​
Code:
default via <gateway IP> dev ens18 proto static
<subnet> dev ens18 proto kernel scope link src <VM IP>
If not, configure netplan to use your bridge's gateway and an IP address from its range.
