DESCRIPTION

This daemon exposes the whole Proxmox VE API on 127.0.0.1:85. It runs as root and has permission to do all privileged operations.

NUMBER OF WORKERS

pvedaemon delegates handling of incoming requests to worker processes. By default, pvedaemon spawns 3 worker processes, which is sufficient for most workloads. For automation-heavy workloads that issue a huge volume of API requests and that experience slow request handling or timeouts, the number of worker processes can be increased by setting MAX_WORKERS in /etc/default/pvedaemon, for example:

MAX_WORKERS=5

Note that a higher number of worker processes may result in higher CPU usage. The number of worker processes must be greater than 0 and smaller than 128.

The same setting exists for pveproxy (man pveproxy(8)).
