Proxmox Backup Server

Overview of install/config

This guy's YouTube tutorial was very helpful!

Changing the PBS admin password from CLI

Thank goodness I was able to change PBS user password from CLI because it's not as straightforward as one might expect.

TLDR: the actual correct syntax is:

proxmox-backup-debug api set /access/password --userid root@pam --password "Password"

The terminal will return null but the password is changed (annoying).

warning

If you just do proxmox-backup-manager user update root@pam --password "MyPass" the terminal will return a blank line. It will look like the password changed, but it hasn't. If you RTFM a little bit you'll learn that "This parameter is ignored." Whatever dude. That's annoying.
