# Proxmox Credentials Verification Status **Date**: 2025-12-09 **Status**: ⚠️ **Verification Incomplete** --- ## Summary Proxmox credentials are configured in `.env` file, but automated verification is encountering authentication failures. Manual verification is recommended. --- ## Configuration Status ### Environment Variables - ✅ `.env` file exists - ✅ `PROXMOX_ROOT_PASS` is set - ✅ `PROXMOX_1_PASS` is set (derived from PROXMOX_ROOT_PASS) - ✅ `PROXMOX_2_PASS` is set (derived from PROXMOX_ROOT_PASS) - ⚠️ Default API URLs and usernames used (not explicitly set) ### Connectivity - ✅ Site 1 (192.168.11.10:8006): Reachable - ✅ Site 2 (192.168.11.11:8006): Reachable ### Authentication - ❌ Site 1: Authentication failing - ❌ Site 2: Authentication failing - ⚠️ Error: "authentication failure" --- ## Verification Results ### Automated Tests 1. **API Endpoint Connectivity**: ✅ Both sites reachable 2. **Password Authentication**: ❌ Failing for both sites 3. **Username Formats Tested**: - `root` - Failed - `root@pam` - Failed - `root@pve` - Not tested ### Possible Causes 1. **Incorrect Password**: Password in `.env` may not match actual Proxmox password 2. **Username Format**: May require specific realm format 3. **Special Characters**: Password contains `@` which may need encoding 4. **API Restrictions**: API access may be restricted or require tokens 5. **2FA Enabled**: Two-factor authentication may be required --- ## Recommended Actions ### Option 1: Manual Verification via Web UI 1. Access Proxmox Web UI: https://192.168.11.10:8006 2. Log in with credentials from `.env` 3. Verify login works 4. Check Datacenter → Summary for resources 5. Document findings ### Option 2: Use API Tokens 1. Log into Proxmox Web UI 2. Navigate to: Datacenter → Permissions → API Tokens 3. Create new token: - Token ID: `crossplane-site1` - User: `root@pam` - Expiration: Set as needed 4. Copy token secret 5. Update `.env`: ```bash PROXMOX_1_API_TOKEN=your-token-secret PROXMOX_1_API_TOKEN_ID=crossplane-site1@root@pam!crossplane-site1 ``` ### Option 3: Use SSH Access If SSH is available: ```bash # Test SSH ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pvesh get /nodes/ml110-01/status" # Get resource info ssh root@192.168.11.10 "nproc && free -g && pvesm status" ``` ### Option 4: Verify Password Correctness 1. Test password via Web UI login 2. If password is incorrect, update `.env` file 3. Re-run verification script --- ## Next Steps ### Immediate 1. **Manual Verification**: Log into Proxmox Web UI and verify: - [ ] Password is correct - [ ] Resources are available - [ ] API access is enabled 2. **Choose Authentication Method**: - [ ] Fix password authentication - [ ] Switch to API tokens - [ ] Use SSH-based scripts 3. **Update Configuration**: - [ ] Fix `.env` file if needed - [ ] Or create API tokens - [ ] Test authentication again ### For Deployment Once authentication is working: 1. Re-run resource quota check 2. Verify resources meet requirements 3. Proceed with deployment --- ## Resource Requirements Reminder ### Total Required - **CPU**: 72 cores - **RAM**: 140 GiB - **Disk**: 278 GiB ### Manual Check Template When verifying via Web UI, check: - Total CPU cores available - Total RAM available - Storage pool space (local-lvm, ceph-fs, ceph-rbd) - Current VM resource usage --- ## Troubleshooting ### If Password Authentication Fails - Verify password via Web UI - Check for 2FA requirements - Try API tokens instead ### If API Tokens Don't Work - Verify token permissions - Check token expiration - Verify token ID format ### If SSH Doesn't Work - Verify SSH access is enabled - Check SSH key or password - Verify network connectivity --- **Last Updated**: 2025-12-09 **Action Required**: Manual verification of Proxmox credentials and resources
