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 😭
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.
Windows lol
How the fuck did you do that?
Step 1: get a cat
Step 2: ???
Profit!
Step 0: pile of raw meat in backyard
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.
It sounds like you are getting decent performance but if you aren't try sunshine
Treats?
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
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!!!
Whoa
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.
In firefox on android i just flip the switch to request desktop site amd its mostly fine...
Same.. a bit of screen scrolling to get what I need but did the trick in a pinch!

Not available for current versions of Android. On v 14 and I can't install it.
I'm currently using it on v14, works fine.
🤷♂️
At least with Openwrt it is functional
