22 | pveproxy - Proxmox VE API Proxy Daemon |
23 | ====================================== | |
96f2beeb DM |
24 | endif::manvolnum[] |
25 | ||
26 | This daemon exposes the whole {pve} API on TCP port 8006 using | |
8c1189b6 | 27 | HTTPS. It runs as user `www-data` and has very limited permissions. |
96f2beeb | 28 | Operation requiring more permissions are forwarded to the local |
8c1189b6 | 29 | `pvedaemon`. |

31 | Requests targeted for other nodes are automatically forwarded to those |
32 | nodes. This means that you can manage your whole cluster by connecting | |
96f2beeb DM |
33 | to a single {pve} node. |

35 | Host based Access Control |
36 | ------------------------- | |
37 | ||
8c1189b6 FG |
38 | It is possible to configure ``apache2''-like access control |
39 | lists. Values are read from file `/etc/default/pveproxy`. For example: | |
eb641429 DM |
40 | |
41 | ---- | |
42 | ALLOW_FROM="10.0.0.1-10.0.0.5,192.168.0.0/22" | |
43 | DENY_FROM="all" | |
44 | POLICY="allow" | |
45 | ---- | |
46 | ||
47 | IP addresses can be specified using any syntax understood by `Net::IP`. The | |
8c1189b6 | 48 | name `all` is an alias for `0/0`. |
eb641429 | 49 | |
8c1189b6 | 50 | The default policy is `allow`. |
eb641429 DM |
51 | |
52 | [width="100%",options="header"] | |
53 | |=========================================================== | |
54 | | Match | POLICY=deny | POLICY=allow | |
55 | | Match Allow only | allow | allow | |
56 | | Match Deny only | deny | deny | |
57 | | No match | deny | allow | |
58 | | Match Both Allow & Deny | deny | allow | |
59 | |=========================================================== | |

62 | Listening IP |
63 | ------------ | |
64 | ||
65 | By setting `LISTEN_IP` in `/etc/default/pveproxy` you can control to which IP | |
a22c19c3 TL |
66 | address the `pveproxy` and `spiceproxy` daemons bind. The IP-address needs to |
67 | be configured on the system. | |
fa25e615 SI |
68 | |
69 | This can be used to listen only to an internal interface and thus have less | |
70 | exposure to the public internet: | |
71 | ||
a3b4a546 TL |
72 | ---- |
73 | LISTEN_IP="192.0.2.1" | |
74 | ---- | |
fa25e615 | 75 | |
a3b4a546 | 76 | Similarly, you can also set an IPv6 address: |
fa25e615 | 77 | |
a3b4a546 TL |
78 | ---- |
79 | LISTEN_IP="2001:db8:85a3::1" | |
80 | ---- | |
8fd3f59f TL |
81 | |
82 | Note that if you want to specify a link-local IPv6 address, you need to provide | |
83 | the interface name itself. For example: | |
84 | ||
85 | ---- | |
86 | LISTEN_IP="fe80::c463:8cff:feb9:6a4e%vmbr0" | |
87 | ---- | |

89 | WARNING: The nodes in a cluster need access to `pveproxy` for communication, |
90 | possibly on different sub-nets. It is **not recommended** to set `LISTEN_IP` on | |
91 | clustered systems. | |

93 | SSL Cipher Suite |
94 | ---------------- | |
95 | ||
8c1189b6 | 96 | You can define the cipher list in `/etc/default/pveproxy`, for example |
eb641429 | 97 | |
ee0fb57b | 98 | 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" |
eb641429 DM |
99 | |
100 | Above is the default. See the ciphers(1) man page from the openssl | |
101 | package for a list of all available options. | |
102 | ||
54de4e32 SI |
103 | Additionally you can define that the client choses the used cipher in |
104 | `/etc/default/pveproxy` (default is the first cipher in the list available to | |
105 | both client and `pveproxy`): | |
106 | ||
107 | HONOR_CIPHER_ORDER=0 | |
108 | ||
eb641429 DM |
109 | |
110 | Diffie-Hellman Parameters | |
111 | ------------------------- | |
112 | ||
113 | You can define the used Diffie-Hellman parameters in | |
8c1189b6 | 114 | `/etc/default/pveproxy` by setting `DHPARAMS` to the path of a file |
eb641429 DM |
115 | containing DH parameters in PEM format, for example |
116 | ||
117 | DHPARAMS="/path/to/dhparams.pem" | |
118 | ||
8c1189b6 | 119 | If this option is not set, the built-in `skip2048` parameters will be |
eb641429 DM |
120 | used. |
121 | ||
122 | NOTE: DH parameters are only used if a cipher suite utilizing the DH key | |
123 | exchange algorithm is negotiated. | |
124 | ||

125 | Alternative HTTPS certificate |
126 | ----------------------------- | |
127 | ||
0e9c6c13 | 128 | You can change the certificate used to an external one or to one obtained via |
aeecd9ea SI |
129 | ACME. |
130 | ||
131 | pveproxy uses `/etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.pem` and | |
132 | `/etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.key`, if present, and falls back to | |
133 | `/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem` and `/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key`. | |
134 | The private key may not use a passphrase. | |
135 | ||
136 | See the Host System Administration chapter of the documentation for details. | |

138 | COMPRESSION |
139 | ----------- | |
140 | ||
141 | By default `pveproxy` uses gzip HTTP-level compression for compressible | |
142 | content, if the client supports it. This can disabled in `/etc/default/pveproxy` | |
143 | ||
144 | COMPRESSION=0 | |
