I have tried installing Cloudmin Pro on Hetzner and can’t seem to get it right. A lot of guide say that networking is the tricky part on Hetzner root servers. Cloudmin installation script could never get it right. Even the Cloudmin network settings doesn’t seems to allow a working bridge configuration. So I gave up.
Instead, I setup the root server with KVM and I’m able to get network working. I’m able to create VMs on the root server and ping to them from outside.
But I really want to use Cloudmin. So I installed it on a different VPS. And tried to add my root server as a host system. It was a success. But still, I can’t create VMs on this host.

The VM never gets created on the host system. But Cloudmin claims it has been created and can’t ping.
I gave that up also and tried creating the VM on host itself with uvtool hoping I could add it to Cloudmin with Find KVM Instances option. This is the output I’m getting,

.. could not work out primary disk image
That didn’t work too. Next I tried Add KVM Instance under Add System. That too doesn’t work because there are options to select on under KVM process to manage. And Cloudmin gives an error on the next page about it.
I feel like I tried everything. But I doubt I did. What I’m hoping here is that someone can point me to right direction to get this working.
Thanks!
