[PVE 3] container network configuratioon

[nzimas]

Trying to set up a bridged connection from the web GUI alone is proving to be a daunting task.
The newly created device, name eth0, shows up under the Network tab, but is nowhere to be found in the container itself.

Word to the wise

you just need to add your needed config in /etc/network/interfaces

e.g. if you have a debian container with veth and you want dhcp, it can look like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
