[SOLVED] Trying to automate the creation of virtual machines using ansible; "authorization on proxmox cluster failed with exception"

[UntouchedWagons]

This is my ansible playbook:

---

- hosts: gluster-test
  become: true
  tasks:

  - name: Create new VM with minimal options
    community.general.proxmox_kvm:
      proxmox_default_behavior: 'no_defaults'
      api_user: 'root@pam'
      api_password: 'blahblahblah'
      api_host: 'gluster-test'
      name: 'test-vm'
      node: 'gluster-test'

Which I then run using ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass setup-test-vm.yml which gives me this output:

BECOME password:

PLAY [gluster-test] *******************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] ****************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [gluster-test]

TASK [Create new VM with minimal options] *********************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [gluster-test]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "authorization on proxmox cluster failed with exception: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='gluster-test.jordanbradley.site', port=8006): Max retries exceeded with url: /api2/json/access/ticket (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f2efe49b6a0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 110] Connection timed out'))"}

PLAY RECAP ****************************************************************************************************************************************************
gluster-test               : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

Which is strange because if I run this playbook against my production proxmox server I get a different error.

I solved it, set api_host to 127.0.0.1 That is not intuitive at all.
