Proxmox VE as a Host Directory

To add hosts from Proxmox VE to PrivX:

  1. In Proxmox, obtain an API-token with PVEVMAdmin permissions. PrivX will use the token ID and secret to scan hosts from Proxmox.

  2. Add a new directory to PrivX: In the PrivX GUI, go to Administration→Directories and click Add Directory.

  3. Configure PrivX to connect and authenticate to the Proxmox VE. You will at least need to configure:

    • Name: A unique name for identifying the directory.
    • Type: Proxmox VE
    • Endpoint Address: Address of the Proxmox VE service.
    • Token ID: API-token ID.
    • Secret: API-token secret.

    If your Proxmox VE uses TLS, you will also need to set Server Authentication Settings under Advanced Settings.

    Click Save to apply your changes.

  4. Back on the Administration→Directories page, you may verify the directory status. After PrivX has completed scans, the status of the directory should be OK.
