My goal is to be able to generate my inventory based on the VMs available on proxmox. I am trying to use an api token. I get no such user error.
I thought it was because I’m using a pam user since the docs show using a pve user but that doesn’t seem to be it.
I find it a bit odd that it says its using /api2/json/nodes. When I open that url on my proxmox server it just shows a list of the nodes. Nothing to do with users but maybe it isn’t trying to get them from there per se. But why wouldn’t it show “/api2/json/access/users” instead since that shows a list of users?
ansible [core 2.18.0]
proxmox 8.2.2
Arch Linux latest
some potentially important facts:
- proxmox is behind an nginx reverse proxy
- I also have openid registered users on proxmox
command I am running:
ansible-inventory -i config.proxmox.yaml --graph -vvvv
config.proxmox.yaml:
plugin: community.general.proxmox
url: https://proxmox.company.com
user: ansiblepve@pve
token_id: ansiblepve@pve!ansibleworking
