When you first install Proxmox Server, you might be prompted to create a user account. This account allows you to manage your server from a web interface or from the Proxmox Command Line Interface. In this article, we will show you how to login to Proxmox Server using the user account that you created.
What is Proxmox?
Proxmox is an open source virtualization platform that automates the management of virtual machines, storage and networks. It provides a centralized console for managing all components and enables users to create and manage their own virtual appliances.
Proxmox can be used to host desktop, cloud or mobile applications.
What are the benefits of using Proxmox?
- Simplified management of virtual machines and storage: Proxmox provides a centralized console for managing all components and enables users to create and manage their own virtual appliances. This makes it easy to configure and manage your virtual environments, whether you are a small business or a large organization.
- Reduced cost: Thanks to its automated management features, Proxmox can save you money on administration costs by automating tasks such as patching and updating your virtual machines. In addition, Proxmox offers comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solutions that can help you protect your data in the event of a catastrophe.
- Increased security: With Proxmox, you can increase the security of your data by implementing failover clustering or mirroring functionality. This means that if one of your servers goes down, the other servers will continue to operate
