How to add a Proxmox node to the dashboard?
GelöstI just installed HomeLab Dashboard and I want to monitor my Proxmox VE node. I can see the option to add a service but I am not sure which connection type to use. Should I use the API token or username/password authentication? Also, do I need to open any specific ports on the Proxmox firewall?

You should use API tokens for authentication — it is more secure than username/password. Go to Datacenter > Permissions > API Tokens in Proxmox and create a new token. Make sure to uncheck "Privilege Separation" if you want full access. Then in HomeLab Dashboard, add a new service with type "Proxmox VE" and paste the token. Port 8006 needs to be accessible from your dashboard host.

Just to add: if you are running Proxmox behind a reverse proxy, make sure to use the direct IP and port 8006, not the proxied URL. The API client needs direct access to the Proxmox API.
