Need help adding a domain name to Proxmox VE 3 Web Gui

vRozenSch00n

After installing PVE 3, I have a difficulty to point a domain name and access proxmox web GUI as http s://proxmox.mydoman.com:8006. It seems that they have an in house built web engine.

I tried to talk to Mr. Google, and he didn't give me the right answer. Or maybe I asked the wrong question.

Anyhow, I would appreciate very much if anyone can help me with this and share it to the community.

Thanks in advance

You need to make sure the servers hostname is set within Proxmox, this should allow you to browse to it using https://proxmox.mydoman.com:8006

if i understand you correctly (not sure) then you try to point a domain to your server ip who is running proxmox? if that is the case you could get a third-party DNS service and use those name servers in your domain, then create an "A record" that points to the right server IP using the third-party DNS service.

I did in /etc/hosts and /etc/hosname.

I can access it in my local installation, but It didn't work in a life server even after I have pointed the dns to the correct IP.

In previous version of Proxmox, they use apache, so I just need to set the virtual host directive. The latest proxmox uses different web engine, and I don't know where can I set the directive.

Within Proxmox you should see Datacenter in the left panel. Sub that there should be your server name. If you click that then goto DNS you should see hostname. If you set that to the hostname you would like to access Proxmox with then it should work.

Ok I'll try it and get back to you.

You could find out what webserver it uses with this command (ssh)

netstat --tcp --udp --listening --program

it should return all programs + what ports they are listening on

after knowing what webserver is running you can google its name + what you need done for more accurate results and a higher success rate.

No problem.

It is solved, thanks guys.

After @rmlhhd point it out I just realized that I forgot to add search proxmox.mydomain.com in /etc/resolv.conf
