# ProxmoxAAS API - Client REST API
|
|
ProxmoxAAS API provides functionality to the Client by both providing a proxy API for the Proxmox API, and an API for requesting resources within a defined quota.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
- (ProxmoxAAS-Client)[https://github.com/tronnet-gh/ProxmoxAAS-Client]\
|
|
- Proxmox VE Cluster (v7.0+)
|
|
- Reverse proxy server which can proxy the client and API
|
|
- FQDN
|
|
- Server with NodeJS and NPM installed
|
|
|
|
## Configuring API Token and Permissions
|
|
In Proxmox VE, follow the following steps:
|
|
1. Add a new user `proxmoxaas-api` to Proxmox VE
|
|
2. Create a new API token for the user `proxmoxaas-api` and copy the secret key to a safe location
|
|
3. Create a new role `proxmoxaas-api` with at least the following permissions:
|
|
- VM.* except VM.Audit, VM.Backup, VM.Clone, VM.Console, VM.Monitor, VM.PowerMgmt, VM.Snapshot, VM.Snapshot.Rollback
|
|
- Datastore.Allocate, Datastore.AllocateSpace, Datastore.Audit
|
|
- User.Modify
|
|
4. Add a new API Token Permission with path: `/`, select the API token created previously, and role: `proxmoxaas-api`
|
|
5. Add a new User Permission with path: `/`, select the `proxmoxaas-api` user, and role: `proxmoxaas-api`
|
|
|
|
## Installation - API
|
|
1. Clone this repo onto `Client Host`
|
|
2. Run `npm install` to initiaze the package requirements
|
|
3. Copy `vars.js.template` as `vars.js` and modify the following values:
|
|
- pveAPI - the URI to the Proxmox API, ie `<proxmoxhost>:8006/api2/json` or `<proxmox URL>/api2/json` if Proxmox VE is behind a reverse proxy.
|
|
- domain - the ProxmoxAAS-Client URL, ie `client.<FQDN>`
|
|
- listenPort - the port you want the API to listen on, ie `8080`
|
|
- pveAPIToken - the user(name), authentication realm, token id, and token secrey key (uuid)
|
|
4. Start the service using `node .`, or call the provided shell script, or use the provided systemctl service script
|
|
|
|
## Installation - Reverse Proxy
|
|
1. Configure nginx or preferred reverse proxy to reverse proxy the client. This can be done in the same file previously or in a new configuration file:
|
|
```
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 443 ssl;
|
|
server_name client.<FQDN>;
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_pass http://<Client Host>:80;
|
|
}
|
|
location /api/ {
|
|
proxy_pass http://<Client Host>:8080;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
2. Start nginx with the new configurations by running `systemctl reload nginx`
|
|
|
|
## Result
|
|
After these steps, the ProxmoxAAS Client should be avaliable and fully functional at `client.<FQDN>`.
