Static IP

[rtlarose]

Hello,

I just installed Proxmox and have created my first VM. The VM was created for an IT Security friend to test out prior to deploying a production server. My question... is there an easier way to assign IP's instead of installing OS and configuring manually? I downloaded Ubuntu 20.04 and configured the yaml file manually and assigned my friend an IP for my /29 designation. Is there an alternative to doing this? I apologize in advance as I am not familiar with virtualization...

hi,

if you run containers, you can set up the network configuration during creation.

with VMs, you will need to do the network configuration in the guest.

one alternative could be setting up a DHCP server, and assigning static addresses to the MAC of your VMs
