It's not that simple when IP allocation depends on the VM MAC addres, if you have a few VMs it may not be a problem, but hosting companies that handle thousands of VMs do not want to assign any random IP to a VPS and would be better to have a native integration, at least at the API level.

Just install your own DHCP server on proxmox if you want. I don't see this
as a feature many people would want, as in any "normal" network you always
have a dhcp server already?

I thought cloud-init was connecting against a DHCP server.

Does Proxmox have any plan to provide a DHCP service so that VMs can
receive IP auto-configuration, whether they use cloud-init or not?

I mean, when you install the ISO of an operating system on a VM, when

of defining the values by hand.

Hi José,

Using the Qemu Agent you are able to determine the IP of the VM.

Kind regards

The possibility of being able to define IPs directly from the
Proxmox/API interface. Just like with Cloud-init or containers.

Hello,

there any plan to implement DHCP for non cloudinit VMs?

Thanks!



the question does not really make sense as we did not implement dhcp
for
cloudinit, the config there only tells the vm how to configure its
network (same as with containers, were we also don't implement a dhcp
server)

but where is the problem in having a host/vm in your network serving
dhcp?
