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.
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.
There is an iOS app I discovered yesterday called ProxMate, and it seems pretty nice!
Most excellent! 🤩
Instant Lifetime Purchase! 👌🏻
Thank you!!!
Windows lol
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!
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.
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.
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
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
Whoa
