Hello,

Is there any solution in ProxMox to suspend/pause VMs and containers after a period of time of console operation inactivity?

thanks

Hi,

no there is no such option. What is your intended use case for this? Limited resource consumption?

Hello Chris,
In short: Yes.
My plan to build a long term running remote lab solution with overcommitted VM config. Similar what you can have on Cloud systems like that.
In case when a participant who is stopped to interact with console such NoVNC or even any way in certain time, I would like to drive affected VM(s) switch to suspend state. Till the participant rejoin and continue him/her activity.
At his time I have no front-end to manage SSO, in shuch condition option would be frontend timeout montiroing, and then call API to suspend. My plan to manage some intact settings/options or even scripts if any.
