Hello, since I also want to use Proxmox, but unfortunately only have one server, I decided to use Unraid as a VM on Proxmox.. I created a VM in Proxmox, connected my Unraid USB stick and started the VM, it starts without any error messages, but the network card is not working properly. After the VM starts, I can log in to the VM console with root. Using the "ip a" command, the network card eth0 is displayed with the correct IP address, but the status is always "Down."

When I start the VM and select "Unraid OS GUI Mode" in the boot menu, and log in to the Unraid GUI via the VM (noVNC console), all passed-through hard drives are mounted, all shares, and all Docker are present. I can even start Docker applications like Paperless-ngx or Nextcloud in the noVNC console and all documents are there.

The only problem is that the network card isn't working properly, and I can't log into Unraid using the IP address in my browser.
How can I fix this? Do you have any idea what might be wrong or misconfigured?

By the way I tested another Unraid VM with a Unraid Trail licence without passing through the hard drives and there the netwerk card is working fine, I can connect on the browser to Unraid.

Thank you very much for your help and all the positive answers. 😂

I solved the problem with the network by adjusting the settings in my "UNRAID/config/network.cfg" file on the Unraid Flash Drive
to match the settings in the "UNRAID/config/network.cfg" file from the Unraid Flash Drive with the Trail license.

And now Unraid runs perfectly as before just in a VM in Promox and quite fast, too.
You don't even notice that Unraid is running in a VM.
