Graphical User Interface
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Proxmox Backup Server offers an integrated, web-based interface to manage the
|
|
server. This means that you can carry out all administration tasks through your
|
|
web browser, and that you don't have to worry about installing extra management
|
|
tools. The web interface also provides a built in console, so if you prefer the
|
|
command line or need some extra control, you have this option.
|
|
|
|
The web interface can be accessed via https://youripaddress:8007. The default
|
|
login is `root`, and the password is the one specified during the installation
|
|
process.
