Access to API

[proxmox_larry]

Hey guys,

I can't access the Proxmox API from the VM, only from my host...

How can that be changed?

Thanks!

hi,

try to see if you can access it with curl from inside the VM. use the -v flag for verbose info (to see what's going on)

use the IP of the PVE host, and don't forget the port 8006

Is it possible to save the value that is being returned by pvesh in a variable ?

 

[oguz]

use --output-format=json or json-pretty with your pvesh command.

afterwards you can parse the json with whatever you like

 

[proxmox_larry]

Do you have an example how I could possibly use the returned json?

Especially for pvesh get /cluster/ressources to store the value on which host the vm is running in a variable.

 

[oguz]

you can use jq for example. see the manual[0]

I'll try that. Thanks!
