Warning
Some configuration changes require the VM to be stopped to take effect.
Memory and CPU changes can be applied to running VMs but may need a restart for optimal performance.

Reset Root Password
If the VM is running and the QEMU guest agent is active, the password is changed immediately.
Otherwise falls back to cloud-init cipassword — takes effect on next reboot.
QEMU Guest Agent
Enables improved guest integration: graceful shutdown, IP reporting,
file system freeze, and in-guest password reset.
Requires qemu-guest-agent installed in the guest OS.
Cloud-Init
A custom user snippet is attached, so Proxmox ignores the
native Default User, password and
SSH keys — those are managed by the snippet.
Set them in the Custom Snippet tab instead.
Network settings below still apply.
Attached:
is node-local — a snippet here won't follow the VM on migration
(cloud-init would lose it). Prefer a shared storage, or
create a shared /etc/pve snippet storage.
Storage
doesn't allow snippets yet.
Node write access ready
ProxUI needs SSH access to write snippets to nodes.
ProxUI will install its SSH key into root's
authorized_keys
(shared across the cluster via pmxcfs), then write snippets over SFTP.
This cluster uses root@pam — the node console can install the key without a password.
If other ProxUI instances have already installed a key here:
Adds a
chpasswd block (with ssh_pwauth) to the YAML above.
The password is stored in plaintext inside the snippet file — use SSH keys where you can.
Valid cloud-init config.
