Proxmox Integration Not Working

Third party integrations
1

I have the Proxmox integration installed using the following in my configuration.yaml:

proxmoxve:
  - host: 192.168.1.9
    verify_ssl: false
    username: !secret proxmox_user
    password: !secret proxmox_password
    realm: pve
    nodes:
      - node: pve
        vms:
          - 100
          - 101

After a restart the binary sensors for the 2 VMs go to an ‘on’ state but then about 4 mins later they change to ‘unavailable’ and remain that way.

I can see from the proxmox server logs that the authentication by the HA account is successful and I guess that’s confirmed by the fact that they report correctly for a few minutes.

This is what is in my HA logs:

Logger: homeassistant.components.proxmoxve
Source: components/proxmoxve/__init__.py:205
Integration: Proxmox VE (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 10:10:51 (6 occurrences)
Last logged: 10:13:09

Vm/Container 100 unable to be found in node pve
Vm/Container 101 unable to be found in node pve

Does anyone have any ideas what’s going on?

Thanks

When I have that error, the vm or lxc eith that number (id) is not there and thus gives me an error.

I currently have exactly the same problem. It goes unavailable every 5minutes and 3 seconds.
Do you also have the issue that you are logged out of the ProxMox WebUI every few minutes?

I get these errors:

Seems like it cannot refresh the token…

I have just taken another look at my logs and I have exactly this problem. The Proxmox webUI is also timing out with the same frequency and I can see this from the Proxmox logs. Any ideas how to fix it? :slight_smile:

So far my post on the ProxMox Forum doesnt get a lot of support. Have been trying out lots of different things, but so far the issue remains. Seems like a reinstall and restore of all the VMs/LXCs is needed.

That’s not great, fortunately I only have 2 VMs on there and neither are my HA instance. I guess that’s
another job to add to the list…

This has now been solved with the help of @AlmostSerious and the Proxmox support forum.

Both of our systems had problems with time sync that had resulted in our authkey.pub files having a timestamp in the future causing all tokens signed with those keys to be invalid. The details of the solution can be found here.
