Getting Started with Proxmox

Proxmox Logo

Our Proxmox installations are created over a Debian operating system. As such, all standard Linux options and features that come with Debian apply, including SSH access. The primary way to manage Proxmox, however, is through its web interface.


Connecting via SSH

On a clean installation, only the root user is created and the default SSH port 22 is open. To log into the server via SSH, you will need the following credentials:

  • Username: root
  • Password: The password you set when you triggered the OS installation.

Accessing the Web Interface

The Proxmox web interface is the main control center for managing your virtual machines and containers. It is accessible on port 8006.

To access the Proxmox Web UI, enter one of the following addresses into your browser, replacing the placeholder with your server's IP address or hostname:

  • https://[server IP address]:8006
  • https://[server hostname]:8006

"No Subscription" Message: When you log into the Web UI for the first time, you will get a message stating there is currently no active subscription. This is normal for the free, full-featured version. You can simply click the message away and continue your work.
