I wish proxmox web GUI was more mobile friendly

I'm sitting here thinking about projects, wishing I could fire up a new VM and install Debian while I sit here on the couch. Then I would have a fresh VM ready to go after I recover from sitting on the couch.

Unfortunately the web GUI is not very mobile friendly. Or maybe it is and I just suck at it.

I realize I could have templates and stuff ready to go, but that would require foresight.

And I am just a guy sitting on a couch.

The Android app works fine IMO.

TIL that a proxmox app exists. Thanks!

This is fantastic. Thanks.

This is incredible. I had no idea. I can't figure out how to create new vms or lxcs though 😭

ikidd@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I don't think you can via the mobile app. It's more for management of existing stuff. I think it would be really complicated to replicate the UI for machine creation.

Setup a virtual desktop on your server and RDP into it to access the web interface. Here is me doing that using my cat as a stand lol.

I'm here to collect your cat tax.

Also, for us non-Windows folks, just set up a VNC server and do the same thing.

Cat tax paid.

Kasmweb in a docker with a FF workspace is how I do it, but this one looks like a RDP session to a Windows box/VM.

There are a few ways. What does your setup look like?

randombullet@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y (8 replies)

It's really simple. Hardly use it for any heavy lifting.

I use Proxmox to play with VMs and Open Media Vault on top to be my NAS.

I've done RDP, but figured that it could only be done on desktop.

I would get a GPU for VFIO and then setup sunshine for streaming. Sunshine won't work well over really slow connections or connections with high latency but it will allow for a good gaming experience.

randombullet@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y (6 replies)

Should I get a GPU that supports vGPUs or you mean like a GPU passthrough to the VM?

Everything is wired in my house so thankfully it's pretty fast.

possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Unless you want multiple VMs to share a GPU passthough is fine.

randombullet@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y

How can a consumer GPu be used across multiple VMs?

Sorry if it's a dumb question. I've never messed with GPUs. 90% of the things I do is headless and through CLI.

It sounds like you are getting decent performance but if you aren't try sunshine

Step 1: enable Remote Desktop in Windows

Step 2: download a Remote Desktop app from app store

Step 3: use the app to login to the Windows box

Step 4: profit

There is an iOS app I discovered yesterday called ProxMate, and it seems pretty nice!

Most excellent! 🤩

Instant Lifetime Purchase! 👌🏻

Thank you!!!

Well, mobile sucks for most stuff, just because of size. I'd prefer to have simpler interface, with (as you mentioned), pre-defined routines/actions.

Or just use ssh, since command line is a lot easier on mobile for stuff like this.

I guess having more pages with fewer objects could make for a better mobile experience.

Not available for current versions of Android. On v 14 and I can't install it.

minnix@lemux.minnix.dev · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I'm currently using it on v14, works fine.

At least with Openwrt it is functional
