Access to VM from VNC Viewer ?

[mathais86]

Hi, is there a standard way to connect from any computer to my ProxMox VM machines with VNC Viewer ?
I don't want to use ProxMox Web Interface.
Do I have to install a VNC server on each virtual machine?

Or, is ProxMox able to offer me the possibility of connecting to my VMs?

Thank you.

Hi, I just tried locally, and the wiki instructions work for me. Could you please be more specific as to why the instructions do not work for you? Are you getting an error message from the VNC viewer?

Could you post your VM config (qm config <VMID>, replacing <VMID> with your correct VMID)? What viewer, host and port are you using to connect to the VNC server? Might the port be blocked by some firewall?

"qm config" doesn't works...
I have to use nano :

This looks OK. After restarting the VM, you should be able to connect via VNC on port 5977 of your Proxmox VE node. But be careful, this means anyone who can reach that port can access your VM console!

If it still doesn't work, could you provide the missing information? See:

After restarting the VM

Just to be clear : Restarting the VM from Proxmox, not by doing a reboot from inside the VM...
