First Steps with Proxmox VE
This guide shows how to log in to Proxmox VE on your Dedicated Server for the first time – via the web interface on port 8006 or via SSH. Proxmox VE is based on Debian and manages KVM virtual machines and LXC containers.
Your Login Credentials
Use these credentials for your first login to the web interface (port 8006) or via SSH (port 22):
Accessing the Web Interface
Enter your server's IP followed by port 8006 in your browser. Confirm the browser's security warning – Proxmox uses a self-signed certificate by default.
https://[your-server-ip]:8006
Log in with the username root and your password. 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 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.
