Set ACME account via CLI

[chip66]

In the UI, you can set the account to use for certificates at (Server View) {server} -> System -> Certificates -> ACME -> Using account. This adds a line in /etc/pve/nodes/{hostame}/config, "acme: account={account_name}"

How do I properly do this via the CLI?

Following the documentation here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Certificate_Management

I get this error when I order the cert:

# pvenode acme cert order
ACME account config file 'default' does not exist.

It's described a bit further up in the wiki-page you quoted:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Certificate_Management#sysadmin_certs_get_trusted_acme_cert

pvenode acme account register account-name mail@example.com

I hope this helps...

That only creates the account. It does not set the account used in /etc/pve/nodes/{hostname}/config.

for me worked this

# register account
pvenode acme account register prod someone@example.com

# set account as default
pvenode config set --acme account=prod
