Unable to connect to Portainer

[Berengario]

Hi Guys

I am very new to all this VM, and Hyperviser. So I have given this a try as I wanted to run a small wordpress site at home for journaling.

I have setup Proxmox successfully. Initially it got stuck at finding my country, but rebooting and starting the install again worked fine.

Once in Proxmox at server "https://192.168.1.15:8006", downloaded Ubuntu 22-04, setup a container.
On the networking side i just selected DHCP, and for dns, i selected "use host settings"

Started the ubuntu server, logged in as root. Then installed Docker as per this article:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

All went well

Installed portainer using this article:
https://docs.portainer.io/start/install/server/docker/linux

All was well

However unable to connect using the port "9443". I entered in the address bar: https://192.168.1.15:9443
no connection

I tried:
https://192.168.1.15:9443
https://192.168.1.15:9000
https://192.168.1.15:8000
http://192.168.1.15:8000

Nothing worked.

I typed "curl https://192.168.1.15:8006"
no problem

typed: "curl https://192.168.1.15:9443"
I got: Failed to connect to 192.168.1.15 port 9443 after 0 ms: Connection refused

I even tried: curl https://192.168.1.15
I got: Failed to connect to 192.168.1.15 port 9443 after 0 ms: Connection refused

Trying for 2 days now. Almost giving up. I tried CE and EE versions

Hi,
when you create a vm or a container, they don't share an ip with the host system (proxmox). You can run ip -a inside your container/vm to check which ip it got from your dhcp server.
You can imagine everything you create in Proxmox as a seperate device on your network with it's own ip and everything (gross oversimplification, but for the default settings it works

192.168.1.15 is your PVE host. By default when you create a new container or VM in PVE they will use a bridge and be accessible on a different IP address. Just run ip a in the container or set a static IP address for the container in the network settings of the container.

OMW! You guys are amazing!

running ip a gave me the ip address as 192.168.1.27, using that worked!!!

Thank you so much!!!
