Answer 1

Here are the general steps to set up networking for a newly created container in Proxmox:

1. Open the Proxmox web interface and navigate to the Containers page.
2. Select the container you want to configure and click on the "Hardware" tab.
3. Click on the "Add" button and select "Network Device" from the drop-down menu.
4. Choose the appropriate network model for your container (e.g. virtio, e1000, etc.) and click "Add" to create the new network device.
5. Click on the newly added network device to configure its settings.
6. Choose the "Bridge" mode if you want the container to be connected to a network bridge on the Proxmox host.
7. Set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the container, if applicable.
8. If you want to use a VLAN for the container, enter the VLAN ID in the "VLAN tag" field.
9. Click "OK" to save the network settings.

Once you have completed these steps, the container should be able to connect to the network using the configured network device. It's important to test the network connectivity of the container to ensure that it is working properly.
