I wish proxmox web GUI was more mobile friendly (self.selfhosted)

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.

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.

I have no idea to be perfectly honest

Under hardware > display there is an option for VirtiO-GPU and VirGL-GPU. I'm not super knowledgeable but I think these options allows VMs to make system calls to the GPU. I put an ancient Quadro in my server and my RDP sessions were noticeably better.

This is fantastic. Thank you. I'll probably get a low powered quadro then.

Or maybe is Radeon Pro better?

My GPU is quite literally 15 or 16 years old (I pulled it out of an old server that was being trashed). If you aren't going to do heavy graphical work and just want to spruce up your desktop performance then really anything is probably fine.

I think both these options require downloading additional libraries on your Proxmox host to work.
