Help with Proxly
Something not working? While Proxly is in beta, the quickest way to tell us is from TestFlight: take a screenshot in Proxly and tap Share Beta Feedback, or open the TestFlight app, choose Proxly and tap Send Beta Feedback. Your device and iOS version are included automatically — it helps to mention your Proxmox VE version too.
Connecting to your server
- Address: use the same address you use for the Proxmox web interface, such as
192.168.1.10orpve.local. The default port is8006. - Certificate warning: most homelab servers use a self-signed certificate. Proxly shows you its fingerprint the first time — compare it with the one under your node → System → Certificates, then tap Trust.
- Local network permission: iOS asks whether Proxly can find devices on your local network. Allow it, or Proxly can't reach your server. You can change this later in Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network.
- Away from home: connect over a VPN such as WireGuard or Tailscale, and use the address your server has on that network.
Signing in
- API token (recommended): create one in the web interface under Datacenter → Permissions → API Tokens. Enter the token ID as
user@realm!tokennameand paste the secret. If "Privilege Separation" is ticked, give the token its own permissions — thePVEAuditorrole for read-only access, or more for start/stop and backups. - Password: enter your username and pick the realm (usually Linux PAM for
root). If you use TOTP two-factor, Proxly asks for your code after the password.
Common problems
- "Permission denied" or empty lists: the user or token doesn't have permission for those resources. Check its roles under Datacenter → Permissions.
- Console shows a login page: the console uses a web session, so it works best when you sign in with a password rather than an API token.
- Can't connect after reinstalling Proxmox: your server has a new certificate. Edit the server in Proxly and trust the new fingerprint.
