[SOLVED] How to I change the notification email for proxmox VE?

[CCWTech]

How to I change the notification email for proxmox VE? I don't want or need to change the users email address or the FROM address, I am referring to the recipient or send to address?

Thanks,
Allen

Datacenter > Notifications. Might have to scroll down.

Do you have to create a user with that email in order to do that?

By default, i.e. through the mail-to-root target, and for legacy notifications, the email address of the root@pam account is used as target, so you can edit that user (Datacenter -> Users) to set a new fallback.

No, can add a many address a you like.

Last time I did that it disabled the user and I was locked out!

Ya, I would not mess with any of that. Just add the addresses you need.

If I change the email address will it lock the root user out again? If so, how do I reenable it?

Then you toggled the enable checkbox before confirming the edit. As just changing the email address definitively does not lock you out, as that address is not used at all from our permission system...

Excellent, and if I accidentally do that again, how do I re-enable? I think last time I just SSH'ed in and ran a command.

In general, it's recommended to have another way to access your servers, that can be SSH, an IPMI/iKVM remote console or just physical access.

So ensure you got that extra access channel before editing anything and then, if you disable the user by mistake, you can unlock it again using a root shell and executing:

pveum user modify root@pam --enable 1

Excellent, thank you!

For SSH, I would even strongly suggest extra user:

I did. I had only locked myself out of the Web interface by disabling root login. Not root in Linux.
