This daemon exposes the whole {pve} API on TCP port 8006 using
You can define the cipher list in `/etc/default/pveproxy`, for example
- CIPHERS="HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL:!MD5"
+ CIPHERS="ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256"
Above is the default. See the ciphers(1) man page from the openssl
package for a list of all available options.
+Additionally you can define that the client choses the used cipher in
+`/etc/default/pveproxy` (default is the first cipher in the list available to
+both client and `pveproxy`):

Diffie-Hellman Parameters
-------------------------
NOTE: DH parameters are only used if a cipher suite utilizing the DH key
exchange algorithm is negotiated.
-
Alternative HTTPS certificate
-----------------------------
-By default, pveproxy uses the certificate `/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem`
-(and private key `/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key`) for HTTPS connections.
-This certificate is signed by the cluster CA certificate, and therefor
-not trusted by browsers and operating systems by default.
-
-In order to use a different certificate and private key for HTTPS,
-store the server certificate and any needed intermediate / CA
-certificates in PEM format in the file `/etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.pem`
-and the associated private key in PEM format without a password in the
-file `/etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.key`.
-
-WARNING: Do not replace the automatically generated node certificate
-files in `/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem` and `etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key` or
-the cluster CA files in `/etc/pve/pve-root-ca.pem` and
-`/etc/pve/priv/pve-root-ca.key`.
+You can change the certificate used to an external one or to one obtained via
+ACME.
+
+pveproxy uses `/etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.pem` and
+`/etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.key`, if present, and falls back to
+`/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem` and `/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key`.
+The private key may not use a passphrase.
+
+See the Host System Administration chapter of the documentation for details.
+
+COMPRESSION
+-----------
+
+By default `pveproxy` uses gzip HTTP-level compression for compressible
+content, if the client supports it. This can disabled in `/etc/default/pveproxy`
+
+ COMPRESSION=0
