Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

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.
