Cant get into proxmox interface after IP change from provider

HashTagHashTag Member

I won't say the providers name because they are here as well but they changed my IP over night and now I am unable to get into my proxmox. I am having to basically do it via command line trying to change the IP to the new subnet. The problem is I did not setup the proxmox so I do not know which network bridge it is on. I have tried the following to get into the network to change the subnet.

cd / etc/network/interfaces/vmbr0 also eth1, eth2, embr1 and it is telling me none of them are found.

Any idea which command will get me to the main network setting to change the subnet.

    /etc/network/interfaces is a file, not a directory.

    So, you'll want to be editing the interfaces file directly.

    How do I access the specific directory or what do I need to access?

  • vim /etc/network/interfaces is what we usually do.

    Make sure you know how to use vim otherwise you'll become a RNG.

    You're throwing VIM at someone who doesn’t know how to update IP address ? This will surely result in an exit loop!:p

    Maybe use ‘nano /etc/network/interfaces‘ much easier.

    If I had one I wouldn't of asked here but thanks for the recommendation.

    The nano worked for me I changed the IP over but it seems the actual login IP XX.XXX.XX.X:8006 is still not changed. Do I need to restart something for that to change. I can ping the internet from the command prompt.

    You can also reboot the server and let proxmox to figure out the new IP on next boot.

    If you only want to restart a service, pveproxy I guess? Not 100% sure.

    systemctl restart pveproxy
