Thank you.

what api token?

 

[Xilmen]

Token named "ticket".

I get this token with this command :
curl -k -d "username=root@pam&password=yourpassword" https://10.0.0.1:8006/api2/json/access/ticket

Nobody has an answer to this question?

it's possible to change api token life ?

It normally expires at the end of the session. Might be possible to change it using a cookie manager or similar tools, but it could cause problems. Why do you want to do this?

i use https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_API

I create, remove, configure my container and VM with this ... but api token expire every 2 hours.

i read "NOTE: Tickets have a limited lifetime of 2 hours. But you can simple get a new ticket by passing the old ticket as password to the /access/ticket method."

And it's not very simple for me, because i update this new token on my script every time.

If you're using your script on the ProxMox host, then you can use the 'pveum' tool to generate a new ticket. Save the old ticket and pipe it.

export ticket='PVE:root@pam:5C2E01C9::mVlvibFc+UNC/2yOITxG4/8pPjgab8[...]'
echo ${ticket} | pveum ticket root@pam
