Compute resource

Create compute resource

You create a proxmox compute resource and set:

• the API REST URL, e.g: http://[host]:8006/api2/json
• username with sufficient privilegies to create vm within his realm, e.g: root@pam. Don't forget the @!

Then you can choose between two authentication modes:

Access ticket (Default):

• user password

Or user token:

• user token id with sufficient privilegies to create vm within his realm
• user token value

You can add SSL certificates too: check SSL verify peer and copy and paste the two cluster certificates: root and pve

Test if connection works, then save it.

Certificates can be copy and paste from your provider:
