I have the following setup.
............----------------proxmox----------------------------
...........|...................................................................|
WAN--->bridge->opnsense-->bridge-->ubuntu|
...........|...........................................|......................|
...........-------------------------------------V-------------------
.....................................................LAN

Opnsense:192.168.1.1
proxmox:192.168.2.14:8006

is there a way to reinstall in recovery mode and only edit the management port interface to be a third port an unused Ethernet? Everything else still works as intended and I don't want to redo anything.

Hey,

can you ping the host? What you mean by "management port" and "third port"? If you want to change 8006 to something else then no, that is not possible. In case you mean the hosts IP, then you can just directly login and change the IP in /etc/network/interfaces, note you also have to update /etc/hosts in case to change the IP.

I meant interface, not port. During the installation process it gets you to select an Ethernet to access the ui and set the IP address for that one. I was wondering how to change that to one that was not being used for anything else. What do you mean by "directly login"? Are you referring to the console that shows up when a monitor is plugged in? That's the only way I can access proxmox. Otherwise, all i can access are the opnsense and Ubuntu vms, regardless of what IP I put before :8006
 
Yes, hooking up a monitor directly to the server is what I meant. Same as with IP, you can change the interface in /etc/network/interfaces. ip a will give you a list of all available interfaces, then you can just set bridge-port for vmbr0 to that.

Should look something like this
Code:
iface <YOUR_INTERFACE> inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    ...
    bridge-ports <YOUR_INTERFACE>
    ...

After changing that you can do ifreload -avvv to reload it, that'll also yell at you in case something is wrong in /etc/network/interfaces.

Sounds like solid advice, I'll try that later tonight.
