This daemon is normally started and managed as systemd service:

systemctl stop proxmox-datacenter-privileged-api

Description

This daemon exposes the Proxmox Datacenter Manager management API through a restricted UNIX socket at /run/proxmox-datacenter-manager/priv.sock. The daemon runs as root and has permission to do all privileged operations.

NOTE: The daemon listens to a local UNIX socket address only, so you cannot access it from outside. The proxmox-datacenter-api daemon exposes the API to the outside world.
