• Be sure you've the right distribution.
• If you need console noVNC, using pve-no-subscription instead of pve.

Add the key: wget -O- "http://download.proxmox.com/debian/key.asc" | apt-key add -

Update & install kernel & kernel header:

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install pve-firmware pve-kernel-2.6.32-26-pve
apt-get install pve-headers-2.6.32-26-pve

• Make sure to select Proxmox VE Kernel on the boot loader (grub2) - Attention: Default is the 3.2 kernel
• Reboot: Now restart the system using the Proxmox VE kernel.

Check you've the new kernel after reboot, else do not continue

uname -a

Network

Debian

Network for Host Proxmox Server:

Configure host - Proxmox 5

/etc/network/interfaces

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
	address 167.114.119.154
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 167.114.119.0
	broadcast 167.114.119.255
	gateway 167.114.119.254
	bridge_ports eth0
	bridge_stp off
	bridge_fd 0

Note: on debian, if you just have eth0, and no vmbr, you don't have bidge, so you cannot create CT/VM. Change eth0 by vmbr0 and add the missing line ((bridge_ports, bridge_stp, ...))

Configure host - Proxmox 6

/etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet dhcp
	bridge-ports eno1
	bridge-stp off
	bridge-fd 0

Configure the VM

Network for VM((not for container)):

/etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 198.50.217.216
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 198.50.217.216
	post-up route add 167.114.119.254 dev eth0
	post-up route add default via 167.114.119.254
	pre-down route del 167.114.119.254 dev eth0
	pre-down route del default via 167.114.119.254

Note:

• 167.114.119.254 is the gateway of the host proxmox network.
• gw is deprecated, now using via on latest debian/proxmox

Network for container: will be automatically added by web-ui. Be carefull that ip has no virtual mac, else it does not work.
