Hi Folks,

im Currently trying to add a Ubuntu Container Template, but i keep running into the Following Issiue:

"
downloading http://download.proxmox.com/images/system/ubuntu-22.04-standard_22.04-1_amd64.tar.zst to /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ubuntu-22.04-standard_22.04-1_amd64.tar.zst
--2024-06-27 19:10:16-- http://download.proxmox.com/images/system/ubuntu-22.04-standard_22.04-1_amd64.tar.zst
Resolving download.proxmox.com (download.proxmox.com)... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
TASK ERROR: download failed: wget: unable to resolve host address 'download.proxmox.com'
"

My System is Running on ProxMox Version 8.2.2 and uses the Default Google DNS (8.8.8.8). I Tried opening it on my Tower and have no Issiues getting it Resolved.

Before Trying it I changed my Repros according to this Documentation (https://www.virtualizationhowto .com/2022/08/proxmox-update-no-subscription-repository-configuration/) via Web GUI since im not tooo Familliar with Linux (but learning and working on it tho).

Thanks for the Help in Advance.
Best Regards

What is the context of your /etc/resolv.conf?
Can you ping google.com?
You could add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" into /etc/resolv.conf

Sadly i cant ping google.com.
ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

This is the current content of my resolv.conf:

search Google DNS
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
 
Just to make sure i didnt fuck up with the Repros, Below a screen of how they are looking in the WebGUI.

I cant seem to ping the DNS IP. Witch is weird since the Host shares the same network as my tower PC atm. and the Tower can ping it w no Problem.
Just because they are physically connected to the same switch does not mean that they are configured the same way.

Start examining the output of:
ip a
cat /etc/network/interfaces
ip route

Clearly, this is not a "repo" issue but a basic networking misconfiguration. Keep in mind that some users reported problems due to "fancy" home routers doing "fancy" things.

Do you have a local DNS from your ISP that you could/should use?

Good luck

Try the following:

Code:
nano /etc/resolv.conf

search local
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
 
I thought he only couldn't resolve name to addresses. But I missed part of his recent post that he cant even ping the numerical address itself. So you are absolutely correct.

Can the OP ping the local NW - maybe try the gateway.
Seems to be a problem with even reaching the GW. Imma redo the whole Network Config since it seems i fucked it up hard xD
 
Ok Redid the Configand it works now.

My Mistake was that i gave it a wrong IP and it therefore couldnt talk w GW and DNS.

Thank Both of you for helping me :)

Happy you got it working. Maybe tag prefix the thread-title with [SOLVED], (upper right hand corner under title).
