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
 
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),

What do you mean by "offline"?
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

Hi,
I'm newbee,
I'm testing and trying to replace ESXi out of some old and new of my hosts
I fail on apt install proxmox-default-kernel
More precisely (sorry the host is on a specific network with only outgoing access to internet, then I don'thave remote access to it for easy and exact dump of logs)

dpkg: error processing archive /var/.../pve-firmware_3_11-1_all.deb (--unpack)
trying to overwrite '/lib/firmware/ath9k_htc/htc_7010-1.4.0.fw', which is also in package firmware-ath9k-htc 1.4.0-108-gd856466+dfsg1-1.3+deb12u1

seems like there might be a Conflicts directive missing for our firmware package. Can you try with apt install proxmox-default-kernel firmware-ath9k-htc- so the conflicting package is removed at the same time?

EDIT: sent a patch for discussion that should take care of this automatically in the future: https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2024-May/063888.html

Do you have any proxy/firewall/etc. that might interfere? Please post the full line from your /etc/apt/sources.list
 
No internet issue, I can ping 8.8.8.8 (google dns),
I could install qemu-kvm, open-iscsi, chrony, without any trouble to reply to your concerns about repo.

And until this morning (CET), it worked well, I could update from your repo, here I simply repeat your wiki, and got stuck on a
(but it took more time to extract sources.list you required)

I also tried to go thru with proxmox-ve-8.2-1.iso on an USB stick with Ventoy in Legacy mode (not better in UEFI), it failed on searching for a block device containing the ISO proxmox-ve 8.2-1 with ISO ID '833ec68e-022d-11ef-99a4-e710060aa5b6' (both in normal mode and grub2 mode)

With a brand new USB stick and dd bs=1M conv=fdatasync if=~/Downloads/proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso of=/dev/sdb, the USB drive is not seen at all during early stage of BIOS or UEFI (legacy mode or uefi mode)

Ok thanks for the hint => I went thru apt install proxmox-default-kernel
1. My apologies for the repo issue = an uninvited backspace was found in the repo.list
2. I didn't go further and deeper with USB stick issues
2. Warm thanks for the hint about the conflict, it was solved by :
dpkg --remove firmware-ath9k-htc
apt --fix-broken install

I ended your tuto on wiki, and got the login prompt on port 8006 from a remote web browser !!!
