First Steps with Proxmox

Proxmox VE is based on Debian Linux. This guide will help you with your initial login to the web interface and managing your VM environment.


Your Login Credentials

Use these credentials for the initial access to the Web-UI (Port 8006) or via SSH (Port 22):

Username
root
Password
The password you specifically set in the PowerPanel during the OS selection process.

Accessing the Web Interface

1
Open Web-UI Address

Enter your server's IP followed by port 8006 in your browser. Confirm the browser's security warning (as a self-signed certificate is used by default).

Browser URL

https://[your-server-ip]:8006

2
Login & Realm

Log in with the username root and your password. It is mandatory to select "Linux PAM standard authentication" as the realm.

Note: The "No valid subscription" message can be dismissed by clicking "OK" after logging in. It does not affect the functionality of the software in any way.


General SSH Access

In addition to the web interface, you can manage your Proxmox host via the terminal at any time. This is particularly useful for manual system updates or advanced terminal tasks.

SSH Login

ssh root@[your-server-ip]


Issues after installation?

If there are any problems directly after the new installation, please open a support ticket in your PowerPanel.
