Proxmox Datacenter Manager - First Alpha Release

[vaschthestampede]

Really interesting project.
If I may suggest which features you should focus on, these are the ones I would most like to have:

1. Improve VM and LXC migration by overcoming current limitations.
2. Improve Remotes cluster management.
   In particular, if the pve node that was connected to the pdm is the one that is no longer active, the entire cluster will not be visible in pdm.
3. Integration of Proxmox Backup Server and Proxmox Mail Gateway.

Keep up the good work!

I don't understand the answer correctly.
When adding a node there are only two fields. The IP + port and the fingerprint.
We can't go any further here.
No matter which fingerprint I take from the three possible certificates of the node.

You can try adding the CA like the above poster suggested, but that didn't work for me. Here's what I did:
- In your PVE Manager, go to Administration --> Syslog. You'll see two lines that have fingerprints. One will say "bad fingerprint" and the next will say "expected fingerprint". The expected fingerprint is likely from your CA. You can confirm this using the openssl command by doing:

openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -sha256 -inform pem -in YOUR_CA.pem

this is assuming your CA is in PEM format.

If you confirm that the "expected fingerprint" is the one from your CA, then use that fingerprint in the step where you're running into issues, and again in the final step where you're asked to add nodes.

I'm pretty convinced this is not the right solution, but it's the one that works. Hoping a Staff member can chime in on this. My best guess is that the Datacentre is configured to look for the wrong fingerprint, so either we should be asked to only upload the certificate (vs the full chain) or make sure that the "expected fingerprint" is from the actual certificate, rather than the CA.

I will admit i did not go through every page here yet, but if I need to re-install PDM, is there a file or somewhat to bring back all my nodes without having to re-add them 1x1? We have a bunch of nodes, but it does not make sense to put them in a cluster, so they are all individual
