I just installed proxmox v7.2-1 and I tried connecting from another LAN computer to https://192.168.100.2:8006/ and for some reason, the site can't be reached.

I tried the two following server configurations:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.10.2/24
gateway 192.168.10.1
bridge-ports eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

And also:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eno0
iface eno0 inet static
address 198.51.100.5/29
gateway 198.51.100.1
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eno0/proxy_arp


auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 203.0.113.17/28
bridge-ports none
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0


Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

This is the fallback address for when the installer could not get any IP via DHCP on initial start, so it's probably unreachable from your local network. If you do not have any DHCP setup in your network you must enter a working static IP manually (normally in the installer, but you can just login directly on the PVE and then edit the network there, as you already did).

I tried the two following server configurations:
Well, what network range and gateway is configured for your LAN setup? If you got any Linux box that can connect locally, you could check the ip command:
Code:
ip addr
ip route

Otherwise check your Router or find that info on your OS.

Edit: oh and if DHCP should be working it may be a physical issue with the connection of the PVE host.

Hello t.lamprecht

I have tried different setups but apparentlty I am doing something wrong. Hope im not jeopardizing my security by sharing this info but here is a picture of my linux terminal. Thanks.
 
Proxmox, as an enterprise server oriented hypervisor, does not support WiFi and the manual has no guide for setting up WiFi.
Proxmox is based on Debian and maybe you can get it to work with the help of their Wiki, in which case you probably want/need a Masquerading (NAT) configuration for Proxmox. It would be much easier to use a wired connection to your router/internal network.
EDIT: If your system has a network device (with a cable) then it's not showing up in your photo. Maybe its not supported?

I assume this output is from your client. If yes, it indicates that your LAN-subnet is: 192.168.0.0/24 and your router/gateway is: 192.168.0.1.

I would suggest simply reinstalling PVE with a free/unused and out of the DHCP-range (should be visible in your router) IP in the above said subnet.
So, for example, something like:
IP: 192.168.0.5 / 24
 Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS (probably): 192.168.0.1

The computer with PVE has been hardwired to the router all along. Here is a screen of my Linux machine connected to the ethernet cable.

I must have missed that, sorry. I also can't find the photo where I though I didn't see a cabled device. Please disregard and forgive my previous remarks.
