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.
22ReplyTIL that a proxmox app exists. Thanks!
13ReplyThis is fantastic. Thanks.
2ReplyThis is incredible. I had no idea. I can't figure out how to create new vms or lxcs though 😭
1ReplyI 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.
18ReplyHow the fuck did you do that?
4ReplyStep 1: get a cat
Step 2: ???
Profit!
16ReplyKasmweb 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.
3ReplyTreats?
2ReplyYou 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.
2ReplyThere are a few ways. What does your setup look like?
2ReplyStep 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

Windows lol
4ReplyI'm here to collect your cat tax.
Also, for us non-Windows folks, just set up a VNC server and do the same thing.
4ReplyCat tax paid.

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.
9ReplyIn firefox on android i just flip the switch to request desktop site amd its mostly fine...
8ReplySame.. 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.
