Sites¶
A site groups Proxmox nodes, defines network configuration, and manages container networking. Create at least one site before adding nodes.
Site Properties¶
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Display Name | Human-readable name | Production Cluster |
| Internal Domain | DNS domain for internal network | cluster.example.internal |
| DHCP Range | IP range for containers | 192.168.100.100-192.168.100.200 |
| Subnet Mask | Network mask | 255.255.255.0 |
| Gateway IP | Default gateway | 192.168.100.1 |
| DNS Forwarders | Upstream DNS (comma-separated) | 8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1 |
Creating a Site¶
- Navigate to Sites → Create New Site
- Enter display name and internal domain
- Configure DHCP range, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS forwarders
- Save
Important
Ensure the DHCP range doesn't conflict with static IPs (Proxmox nodes, management container, infrastructure devices).
DHCP and DNS¶
- Containers automatically receive IPs from the DHCP range
- Internal DNS resolves
container-name.INTERNAL_DOMAIN - External queries forwarded to configured DNS forwarders
- All records created/removed automatically with container lifecycle
