Synopsis

This daemon is normally started and managed as systemd service:

systemctl start proxmox-datacenter-api

systemctl status proxmox-datacenter-api

For debugging, you can start the daemon in foreground using:

sudo -u www-data -g www-data proxmox-datacenter-api

Note

You need to stop the service before starting the daemon in foreground.
