Using the API to install HTTPS certificates on PBS

[needanewername]

My acme certificates are managed by my OPNsense VM and I have successfully used a plugin supplied by them to install certificates on the PVE servers via the API at

https://${_target_hostname}:${_target_port}/api2/json/nodes/${_node_name}/certificates/custom

Is there a way to do the same thing on a PBS machine?

I've tried the paths at

https://${_target_hostname}:${_target_port}/api2/json/nodes/certificates/custom

and

https://${_target_hostname}:${_target_port}/api2/json/certificates/custom

but both return 'Path not found' errors.

Hi,
you will have to pass also the node name, the http method and path is POST /api2/json/nodes/{node}/certificates/custom.

See also https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/api-viewer/index.html#/nodes/{node}/certificates/custom

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply. The automation on the OPNsense VM is configured correctly as far as I can tell. I've created an API key with adequate permissions on the PBS. The logs on the OPNsense box show the automation is running when I tell it to. A tcpdump on the PBS shows traffic from OPNsense to PBS on 8007. The proxmox-backup and proxmox-backup-proxy services are running.

In /var/log/proxmox-backup/api/access.log I get:
