I got a new Gl.inet Flint 2 router and I want to configure some of my containers for a VLAN so I added a vlan interface to that device.
When I went to add the vlan aware on the vmbr0 interface it seemed to take the changes with an error that reads
"Could not run before_regenerate for DHCP plugin dnsmasq cannot reload with missing 'dnsmasq' package"

So I installed it
And rebooted

Now I have no WebGUI

after discovering the webgui problem I uninstalled the newly installed threat-actor dnsmasq

** Some additional notes: the IP address it claims I can access the webgui was incorrect after I changed routers (was 192.168.2.x, now 192.168.1.x) so I changed that in the /etc/hosts file so it displays correctly now but is still unpingable.

All my VMs and containers are running and are accessible

Why cant I ping or access the host in anyway but all containers are alive and well?
 
Fixed it

My /etc/network/interfaces file looked like
***
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

I changed it to
***
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.251/24
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

after systemctl reboot networking my webgui is back

Now.... onto that VLAN problem...
