proxmox-enhanced-api

Requirements

apt-get update && apt-get install -y arp-scan

proxmox-enhanced-api will consist of the following components in a single binary. It can be deployed on the server, ran once to install systemd template, and will run itself as a daemon from there.

Security

Auth is currently done with user/pass or skipped (and user/pass need to be set in config, see below).

The server listens on port 8080 using the same SSL certification that proxmox uses for the UI, located at:

/etc/pve/nodes/pve/pve-ssl.pem
/etc/pve/nodes/pve/pve-ssl.key

Credentials are verified against the API over SSL as well.

Ticket auth is not supported currently.

Installation

Download the binary to /root/ and run ./proxmox-enhanced-api -init.

This will generate a config and systemd unit files. You can then edit the config file located in /etc/proxmox-enhanced-api/config.toml and restart the service using systemctl restart proxmox-enhanced-api.service.

Example Configuration:

[proxmox]
host = "192.168.1.2"
node = "pve"
user = "root@pam"
pass = "foobar123"

[api]
# if skip_auth is true, you need to enter user/pass credentials under proxmox,
# otherwise you need to pass the user/pass a basic auth
skip_auth = true

[dns]
zone = "example.com"

[cloudflare]
api_key = "123"
email = "me@example.com"

Accessing the service

You can access it by going to http://YOUR_VM_IP:8080/vm

Example with skip_auth = true:

curl -k https://192.168.1.2:8080/vm

Example with basic auth:

curl -k -u "root@pam":root https://192.168.1.2:8080/vm
