[SOLVED] Simple DHCP for nodes

[ixproxmox]

Is there a easy way to setup dhcp on the individual proxmox-host? So that I don't need to maintain a seperate dhcp-server for so simple need. I just need the vms (both kvm and containers) to just choose from a pre-defined public static ipv4 or ipv6 range and stick with it (forever lease for this mac for instance). Of course, I could setup a Linux-vm on one proxmox, install dhcp/dhcp6, but would be so fun to do it kind of integrated and I don't see any reasons why it can't work to install it on host (unless there is something I'm not seeing)

Sure it's possible, but don't you already have a gateway which runs a dhcp server?
A popular package is isc-dhcp-server which can be installed via apt.

I'm in a datacenter and not running the gw myself Cool, I'll try that.

I see, very valid reason.

you should make sure that your server is in an own VLAN, that you don't disturb other customers...

The datacenter better makes sure that dhcp requests from other customers don't reach his server ...
