|
|
|
|
{pve} is simple. There is no need to install a separate management
|
|
tool, everything can be done via your web browser (Latest Firefox and
|
|
Google Chrome is preferred). To access VM/CT console, a built in HTML5
|
|
console is used. As alternative, SPICE can be used.
|
|
|
|
As we use Proxmox Cluster file system (pmxcfs),you can connect to any
|
|
node to manage the whole cluster.
|
|
|
|
To use the Central Web-based Management, you need a modern browser,
|
|
this includes:
|
|
|
|
* Firefox, a release from the current year, or the latest Enterprise
|
|
* Support Release Chrome, a release from the current year
|
|
* Microsoft currently supported versions of Edge Browser
|
|
* Apple currently supported versions of Safari
|
|
|
|
If {pve} detect you're connecting from a mobile device, you will
|
|
redirected to a light weight touch based UI.
|
|
|
|
The web interface can be reached via https://youripaddress:8006
|
|
(default login is: root, the password is specified during the
|
|
installation).

structured into 4 different types. It has 4 different views,
|
|
which can be selected on the top.
|
|
** Datacenter: contains all the settings belonging to all machines.
|
|
** Nodes: represent the host where the VM/CT runs on. It is named like
|
|
the hostname. Normally the name was set by the installation.
|
|
** Entity: can be a VM, container or a storage.
|
|
** Logical pools: it is possible to group entities to a group for easy management.
|
|
* On the right side is the main management center, where all content
|
|
