[SOLVED] No network option appears: Proxmox installed on Debian 11 in VPS

[eadmin]

Hello guys, i have a problem with network interface in Proxmox. My company has a VPS on contabo, in this server was installed Debian 11, but for our business we will need a virtualized server that supports some PABX VMs. It turns out that we installed Proxmox via command line following the tutorial: https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-proxmox-virtual-environment-on-debian-11

The installation was successful. But when I create a VM, no network interface option appears . What do I need to do to fix this? The public IP that contabo provides me is the same IP as the internal network of my proxmox (seen by the ifconfig command)




Nothing appears here

You will need to create a Linux Bridge (that should've been automatically taken care of during installation - did you remove it?) in order to use a network interface with your VMs.

Hi,
when you are installing proxmox on Debian, you need to manually configure the bridge. Our wiki provides a few variants, but for your use case the 'default' configuration should cover what you need [0]. Btw, we provide our own guide to install PVE on top of Debian, that already hints at that [1].
