How to Use PROXMOX GUI interface 100% OFFLINE

[umeduvraj1]

Hey everyone I want to access the Proxmox gui interface for managing vms completely offline with no gimmicks

I heard that there is no standalone application to manage the vms with gui
but i heard that the web interface can be used offline is there a way to do that
I want an offline interface to manage the vms like virtualbox virtmanager and vmware

What do you mean by "offline"?
You will always need a connection to the server where Proxmox runs to manage it.

i want to be running a closed network on my own computer, then the web interface has an internal address that only runs on my computer I want to create a local network without bridging it to the real network (VLAN),

You will always need a connection to the server where Proxmox runs to manage it.

like virtualbox or vmware i dont need no internet to manage vms nor do i want it at all for this setup in particular on vbox and vmw internet is not required vms can be managed offline

When you are on the same computer you can open the web GUI of Proxmox via https://127.0.0.1:8006/.

Install Proxmox from its ISO image and then add a desktop environment like XFCE for example: apt install task-xfce-desktop

i can do it offline right?

 

[gurubert]

For the installation you have to be online (or download all packages before) but after that it should work offline.

Then go ahead.

but i get timeout also i do wget on something else it work im doing this on same pc that im sending msg here on same pc

 

[gurubert]

The timeout is for IPv6, after that wget retries with IPv4 and succeeds. You may want to check why your IPv6 connection does not work. You could also just remove the IPv6 default route. Then everything should run via IPv4.
