I have a local network where all the devices receive their ip from the router. IP range is 192.168.0.XXX.

On one of those machines i want to run “home assistant operating system” inside a VM using libvirt(using cockpit webgui).

I was able to install the VM, but when I run it, it never receives a IP address. Setting one manual works, but then the VM doesn’t show up in my local network.

On the host machine I created a bridge (virbr0) and I made the nic(enp8s0) from the host member. I also made VM member of virbr0

Any ideas what i’m doing wrong?

Note that the VM also needs to become member of the local network (ip range 192.168.0.XXX) and needs to see all other members of the local network.

    Not an expert, just something I did and learned from; does the hardware you’re running on have more than one ethernet port (enp#…)? Is it possible you’ve selected the wrong one?

    Also I notice my VMs in proxmox have the bridge nomenclature of vmbr0 (not virb0). Perhaps something there?

    Just throwing ideas out there, I’m pretty new at this.
