Hi,
I'm currently evaluating Proxmox Datacenter Manager (PDM) and trying to add a remote PVE cluster located in a completely different network. The cluster is exposed via Nginx Proxy Manager. The PVE API itself is reachable through the proxy.
  • Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.1.7
  • Installed in a separate network
  • No VPN between PDM and the remote cluster
  • Adding the remote in PDM fails with:
    error (status = 400:
    connection failed:
    client error (Connect))

    Q: Does PDM need currently direct network connectivity to all cluster nodes after the initial remote connection is established?

    The expectation would be that a cluster can be managed remotely through a single public API endpoint without requiring Layer-3 connectivity to the cluster network.

    If direct node connectivity or a VPN is required, what is the intended use case for the Remote feature?
