Proxmox 8 on Scaleway
Bare metal servers offered at Scaleway are at reasonable prices, which can be compared to those on Hetzner. You even get Proxmox installation by default contrary to Hetzner were you need to install Debian first. To setup Proxmox with one public IP anf pfSense with another one you need to order Flexible IP and request for virtual MAC address. Remember that on Scaleway’s flexible IPs gateway is fixed and it is 62.210.0.1. Then for the network configuration:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 | auto loiface lo inet loopbackauto eno1iface eno1 inet manualiface eno2 inet manualauto vmbr0iface vmbr0 inet manual address x.x.x.x/24 gateway y.y.y.y bridge-ports eno1 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 pointopoint y.y.y.y hwaddress a:b:c:d:e:f up route add -net a.a.a.a netmask b.b.b.b gw y.y.y.y dev vmbr0 up ip route add z.z.z.z/32 dev vmbr0# PUBLICauto vmbr1iface vmbr1 inet static address 10.0.0.1/8 bridge-ports eno2 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0# LAN |
x.x.x.x is primary Proxmox public IP. y.y.y.y is its gateway (with a.a.a.a network with b.b.b.b netmask). z.z.z.z is then your secondary public IP (flexible IP) for pfSense firewall. As you can see, there are two network adapters, eno1 and eno2. First one (eno1) is used for public IPs and second one (eno2) is for internal network only. For some reason the same configuration as on Hetzner, concerning LAN networking, does not work, so there are few changes there over that configuration at Hetzner.
