[SOLVED]

This might be the dumbest thing to happen to me.

I’ve been running a home server for over a year now with Proxmox as my main OS and two VMs on it (Windows server 2019 & Ubuntu server). It has been a long time since I’ve needed to access Proxmox for anything and I recently lost all my browser history on Chrome.

It just occured to me that I should probably save my proxmox ip address but for the life of me I don’t remember what it is. It is not in my browser history because that was recently reset.

I have access to both VMs so I’m hoping there’s a way to find the proxmox IP address from them.

​

So far I have tried ip route on the Linux VM and ipconfig on the Windows VM. This is only getting me the ip of the VMs. Am I screwed or is there a way for me to get the Proxmox ip?

EDIT: Thank you to those who suggested the router logs. I recognized the IP there and was able to access it!

    Having not used proxmox, I’m surprised that this is a problem that can even happen at all

    Is there no official tool to help people with this? I usually do my self-hosting through my NAS and it has an official program to detect NAS from that brand on the LAN

    Another alternative for next time. Scan the whole network with nmap for open port 8006, that should give you the up as well.
