Proxmox 4 - LXC bridge configuration

[ameir]

Hello,

I recently did a Debian Jessie -> Proxmox conversion, but unfortunately am having issues with NAT on the containers. No matter what I tried, I could not get the container to ping the internal IP of the host when following the docs on the wiki.

I found that I had to set

lxc.network.link = vmbr0

in /var/lib/lxc/100/config manually for this to work. Because

pct start 100

resets that file, I had to start the container with

lxc-start -n 100

.

I have confirmed that I have the latest packages. Is this an isolated incident, or is

lxc.network.link = vmbr0

not being set? I have confirmed that this fix also works if added to /etc/lxc/default.conf.

Why don't you use a standard network setup, and configure containers with /etc/ove/lxc/<vmid>.conf (or on the GUI)?

Thanks for your reply. I may have been unclear, but that's what I did -- I tried configuring the network via the GUI (and later via CLI), and while everything looked okay, it did not work. It wasn't until I set `lxc.network.link = vmbr0` that I was able to communicate with the rest of the network.

Would you mind to post the config file that does not work?
