Proxmox Datacenter Manager - First Alpha Release

Installed today to manage
- a cluster with three nodes
- a standalone node

installed as VM in Proxmox

Suggestion:
install qemu-guest-agent as default, woudn't hurt.
 
Still cant get a list of all guests / vms in one area?
I think the only global dashboard currently, is the main dashboard with top cpu/memory .

Personnally, I really would like to have 1 dashboard/list with all guests from all cluster, without need to look inside each remote.

Awesome! Thanls for the Christmas gift!
- little bug: search field is case sensitive
- question: renaming a remote in /etc/proxmox-datacenter-manager/remotes.cfg is ok? or need to delete and re-add?
- and a request: please, make the "No valid subscription, At least one remote does not have a valid subscription" message less dominant in the dashboard, it triggers anxiety to see a red icon in the dashboard, that something went wrong, but nope, that is just a testing-lab in the remotes, that do not have a subscription.
Thanks again for the unexpected but very appreciated and awaited product.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
 
We did test that, lots of our development environment and also internal infra has only self-signed certs, so might be something specific to your cert. The one thing I noticed is that your pveproxy-ssl.pem does have only 2048 bit. How did you generate this cert?
I am sorry, you are absolutely right. I didn't know we use not self-signed but internally signed certificates. What can I do to resolve this?
I tried to upload company certificate chain in PEM format, but it fails.

Is there a button to reset or shutdown it? because I didn't found it

I have this issue with the update (cli or gui)

this last command takes very long time

EDIT: I solved this first issue using the vm console in proxmox and not on the shell inside of the PDM

I am also having problem with vm migrations here is the message I get, how can I solve?

Can some one help me with advise or is this a bug.

Hi,
this is really awesome! Thanks for the work and releasing it in that early stage.

One question: If i add a new remote, is it somehow possible to provide a FQDN and PDM does not add the :PORT behind it? Because if I click the "external Link" for the node it does add FQDN:8006.

Thanks and merry Christmas :)
