Introduction
A reseller account lets you offer our offsite backup storage to your own customers. You create Proxmox Backup Server datastores and S3 buckets for them, either in the dashboard or from your own platform through the Reseller API. Your customers then connect through domain names of your own.
Everything you create lives in your reseller account, and we bill it to that account. Your customers do not need an account with us.
What a reseller account adds
Once your account is upgraded, the dashboard shows a reseller overview and a Custom Domains page, and you can create tokens for the Reseller API.
As a reseller, Dashboard in the sidebar opens the reseller overview. It lists every datastore in your account with its name, size and status. At the top it shows how many datastores you run, the total allocated storage and the estimated monthly cost.
From the list you can open the connection details of a datastore and start a garbage collection on it.
The Reseller API gives your own platform full control over datastores, S3 buckets and the features around them. Create a reseller token under Settings > Security and your systems can provision storage for a new customer without anyone opening the dashboard.
Read Reseller API to make your first calls.
With a custom domain, your customers connect to a name like fra1.yourdomain.com instead of our ingress hostname. You add one CNAME record, and we issue and renew the TLS certificate for it.
Read Custom domains for the setup.
How the pieces fit together
If you want to automate provisioning, start with the Reseller API. Set up your custom domains before you hand out connection details, so your customers use your domain from the first day.
