in the Documentation (link above) the fact is missing that you need a
so that you can access the remote console trough API. This costs me 2 Days to figure it out. Please add the corresponding Information to the Documentation. Thanks!
The Workflow that finally worked for me is:
1. GET /api2/json/cluster/resources?type=vm` (discover the active node for the VM).
2. GET /api2/json/access/ticket to get the
and optionally
with Header
3. POST /api2/json/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/vncproxy with
to open the port for 10 Seconds. Returns vncticket and port number.
4. GET websocket target: `wss://<host>:8006/api2/json/nodes/<node>/qemu/<vmid>/vncwebsocket?port=<port>&vncticket=<ticket>
Of course you will need a websocket proxy to access the raw data. i use stock novnc library to display it in browser with custom controls.
It would be really good to also have a screenshot API Endpoint to get a live screenshot from console for displaying at remote sites like in the PDM.
If you are wondering why i do this: i build a custom Frontend for Proxmox Backend so that the Users must not login on the Prxomox Servers itself.
