Service Daemons

proxmox-datacenter-api

This daemon exposes the whole Proxmox Datacenter Manager API on TCP port 8443 using HTTPS. It runs as user www-data and has very limited permissions. Operations requiring more permissions are forwarded to the local proxmox-datacenter-privileged-api service.

proxmox-datacenter-privileged-api

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.
