Hi Daan, You are correct. The gateway is not acting as a host. It just lets my other machine connect to the outside world.
Also, you are correct that I am not using this as a production system. Next semester though, I plan on creating a Cloudstack setup with 10 physical machines. Below is a screenshot of my management-server.log file during the time I tried to run the install. The top one (2021-12-7 14:13:20, 315) is where I began the management setup on my browser. At the bottom of the first screenshot, I think that is where I tried to add a host from the Infrastructure tab. The other screenshot is from my alerts page in the Infrastructure tab.
