Proxmox integration setup problems
I have followed the installation, but missed out on creating a proxmox integration object on the homarr dashboard initially. After badding it, I am now getting the following error in my log.
'proxmox': Error accessing service API: 'https://192.168.68.16:8006/api2/json/cluster/resources'. The following error was returned: AxiosError: Request failed with status code 401
Solution:
you should have 2 permission entries

❓ Frequently Asked Questions | Homarr documentation
Can I install Homarr on a Raspberry Pi?
Maybe it is a firewall problem?
OS is Ubuntu 24 plus dock starter for homarr.
Just to clarify: Homarr is running as a container on Ubuntu and Ubuntu is a vm on my proxmox server. Sadly, plenty of opportunities for a connection not to through.
401 is "unauthorized", so either you didn't do the api key properly, or it's getting blocked by a reverse proxy
Firewall would straight up block it, no error code.
Using https and a local IP seems wrong though, are you sure it's not http?
I have tried http as well. Same result.
But, yes, I am suspicious that it doesn't like my local IP setup. I also re-applied my api key once again using "api@pam!homarr=<my api>"
I have also tried the container ip, but this gives the econnrefused error.
Hmm, I don't see any messages in the proxmox system log...
Please post your full log as requested by @Cakey Bot
@CrankyPunisher what is the URL you entered? Are you using a proxy? Are you using VLANs?
full log as in system log of the underlying vm? no proxy. no VLAN. main intention to post in general was to get another user to share their settings.
The full log of Homarr please. There may be some other useful information in it
What's your URL?
I am rebooting the box to get you a shorter log. Less junk after a reboot...
External URL is https://pve1.<my domain>.:8006
I resolves locally via DNS and I can access proxmox with it
Can the VM & Homarr resolve this too?
The vm can. Checking on homarr container now
Hmm, there is no ping in the container. I need to figure out how to do that...
Run
apt-get install -y iputils-pingyep
It is working. homarr can ping the external url
Should I check the internal ip?
Yes please
That works as well.
Ok. So it is not a networking issue.
The token is correct?
Well, it could still be http vs https, but neither one is working...
Yes, I eve nreapplied it again.
I guess I can generate a new one if we are running out of ideas. But wouldn't there be a different error message if the token is wrong?
This is a common error message for invalid tokens
I am struggling to get the log. I am using docker container logs homarr > /data/log.txt to create it
It shows me all the relevant output on screen, but the file has different content...
OK. I have generated a new api key. no change.
I don't understand why it shows me the following error on screen, but not in the generated log file.
ERROR 'proxmox': Error accessing service API: 'https://192.168.68.16:8006/api2/json/cluster/resources'. The following error was returned: AxiosError: Request failed with status code 401Then I would suggest you to submit an issue on GitHub and tag https://github.com/dslatt because he's the author of the integration:

I am not sure if it matters, but I am seeing a lot of communication issues in my homarr log
ERROR failed to communicate with media server 'plex' (2ae1d0c3-7dc8-4e1d-8ea1-afc1778fb6c7): TypeError: fetch failed
ERROR failed to communicate with media server 'jellyfin' (151c1c28-6343-4b94-942e-74bf7b7e11ae): AxiosError: Request failed with status code 401
ERROR Failed to request data from Overseerr: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')
ERROR failed to communicate with media server 'plex' (2ae1d0c3-7dc8-4e1d-8ea1-afc1778fb6c7): TypeError: fetch failed
So they are timing out or getting 401 as a response
There is definetly something messing with your network requests
Yet, all the shown apps are working just fine (directly and with homarr widgets)
But I have not used Promox so I cannot help you in that regard
I understand. I am concerned that there is no failed request in the proxmox log... I mean it normally logs pretty much everything...
But I will work on the github request this evening.
Do I just open an issue on github ajnart / homarr and then tag dslatt?
It is just a commit to the existing project, right?
I got the github issue opened, but how do I tag dslatt to it?

Thank you for applying some corrections/comments to my issue! 🙂
Shall I leave this open and copy any future solutions?
One other thing I noticed is that the widget is just blank. Other widgets normally give some kind of error message, but then this is just the first release. In any case, it is an exciting new feature and I hope I get to use it soon.
@CrankyPunisher Sorry for asking - but my friend hat this same issue this morning.
Do you get any information from proxmox in homarr (list of lxc, vms etc.)?
My friend was missing a role mapping for the group in proxmox (Step 6 in the documentation)
@Danny Do you mean a Group Permission? Thank you for responding!
🖥️ Hardware | Homarr documentation
Homarr supports various different integrations that allow monitoring of your hardware directly from your dashboard.
Yeah, i have mostly the same setup as you i guess. We could check the settings
Sure
Good news! I have just reapplied the API key for the third time and suddenly it has started working!! 🙂
But no information about ur vms, lxc or storage?
Kind of. It doesn't pull much beyond the node...
Mh, maybe wait some minutes or reload site. If i remeber correctly, i also needed to wait a minute or so till the widget showed informations
yeah. I am hoping for that!
If not we can check the settings in proxmox.
Maybe redo the whole configuration and create a new api key
I have already checked the log. proxmox entries are gone. No new errors...
That would be the 4th api key then...
I think I will first wait on a response for the github ticket. I am still concerned that there are no messages in the proxmox log. I mean it normally sdeems to log pretty much everything. Hard to believe that api calls aren't logged. Especially, if they fail...
I cant even see logs in proxmox aswell for api calls..
Hmm. Maybe I am checking the wrong area? I am just looking into ui system log.
Oh, wait. Are you saying you can or cannot? I gotta go for now. Work....
In the overall UI system logs i dont see logs for api calls.
I just found two logs for pve audit (should be equal to the PVE.Auditrole) but nothing more.. - and not related to homarr or anything in that redirection
just caught up to this. @CrankyPunisher could you run 'pvesh get /cluster/resources' in your proxmox shell? its basically the cli version of the api path i'm using to access proxmox
i'm curious what that will have for you. it seems like the data proxmox is sending out is very limited
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/cluster/resources
@dylwing23 I am currently away from my installation, but will run this later on today and report back. Thank you for getting back to me!
no problem. whenever you get a chance. ty!
also, can you run "curl -k -H "Authorization: PVEAPIToken=<API Token you created>" https://<your proxmox IP>:8006/api2/json/cluster/resources" from somewhere (homarrs docker instance would be ideal, but anywhere with curl works)
just wanted to check the api directly incase it doesnt matched up with the cli results for you
@dylwing23 I have a question. In your curl command above, is <API Token you created>" just the short numeric portion of the homarr token or the full string including "api@pam!homarr="
@dylwing23 I have tried the numeric portion in the docker container itself. It ran and produced no output.
@dylwing23 Then I ran it from the docker VM itself. Same result.
@CrankyPunisher you use the whole string 'api@pam!homarr=1234...'
@dylwing23 That gives "-bash: !homarr=7a0ed54a: event not found" when running it on the VM and no message when running it in the homarr container. I have used api@pam!homarr=<api token>.
@dylwing23 Correction. II initially had api1 and after correcting it, I am now getting the following output: {"data":[{"status":"online","type":"node","id":"node/pve1","level":"","node":"pve1","cgroup-mode":2}]}
@dylwing23 I believe that is matching my widget output...
yeah. that seems to match. did you try to other command in the proxmox shell?
@CrankyPunisher pvesh get /cluster/resources
for some reason proxmox isnt returning all the data I would expect
did you add both the group permission & api token permission? i just noticed that if I remove the api token permission then Im getting a similar result
Solution
you should have 2 permission entries
I would check your permissions first and ignore the pvesh command thing I mentioned for now
@dylwing23 pvesh worked right away
click the permisisons tab
in proxmox
There is only one entry
should be 2 thing there
yeah you need one for the api token as well
its step 10 in the homarr.dev docs
🖥️ Hardware | Homarr documentation
Homarr supports various different integrations that allow monitoring of your hardware directly from your dashboard.
so in the permissions tab you click add-> api token and enter as follows
I don't have api@pam!homarr
It is not an option
is there an api token permission in the dropdown check you click add?
thats the one you should use
Even though it shows up on the api token list
if you select to add the api token permission it should be there
Duh! I finally got it.
cool, try the widget now
think it should work
oh yo gotta have pveauditor on the api-users group permissioon as well
fix that too
Still the same
yours is role noaccess
so just add group permission
both permissions need to be pveauditor
looks good
And we have a winner!! 🙂
awesome
Thank you so much!!!
glad you got it working
Your widget is great!
thanks!
I am happy to help out with testing if needed. I am not a Linux expert, but know enough to keep myself out of trouble.
Mostly... 😉
Thank you to @Danny and @Manicraft1001 as well.
Back to work for me...
