Hello, Proxmox server has 2 ethernet Cards. To reach the proxmox web interface, he assigned a static ip to my 1 ethernet card. I can access the proxmox web interface with a separate laptop. I use my 2nd ethernet card to enable internet connection to my vm machines. I created a Linux Bridge on the server, so they can connect to the internet with the 2nd ethernet card. However, I have a problem. The Proxmox server cannot connect to the internet.


I need to update proxmox and install some applications. How can I do this?

thank you for support.
 
Proxmox needs a IP, gateway and DNS on a interface that is connected to a network with internet access.

How should Proxmox go online if its only IP is on a NIC that is most of the time connected to nothing?

Easiest would be to give your bridge on the second NIC a IP, set the gateway and dns on that bridge and create a firewall rule to block the WebUI on that bridge.

But you dont want 2 IPs im the same subnet for a host so you shoukd give your management NIC a IP in a dedicated management subnet.

I'll just connect the internet for a short time and update the proxmox, thanks. Then I will disconnect.
