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.

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.

The Android app works fine IMO.

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

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.

TIL that a proxmox app exists. Thanks!

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.

Windows lol

Whoa

How the fuck did you do that?

Step 1: enable RDP in Windows

Step 2: download RDP app from app store

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

Step 4: profit

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

You can just use remote desktop into Windows. I used to have a headless PC setup with a GPU so that my wife could play Sims 4 over the network on her ancient laptop from the couch.

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

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.

Thank you, you may proceed!

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

Most excellent! 🤩

Instant Lifetime Purchase! 👌🏻

Thank you!!!
