Installing proxmox on 1 laptop,

[blablabla]

Hi,

I would like to install proxmox on 1 Laptop.

- is it possible to access the web GUI, from the Terminal, Once i Install Proxmox as the Main operating system?

- Currently i am using a 2nd laptop, with a web browser to access the web GUI via Browser + HTTPS address.
*But doing this is wasting the usefulness of the 1st Server laptop as its own workstation.

- To achieve this, do i need to Install a different Opperating system on the Laptop as the Main Operating system, that enables a browser? (Like Debian), and then install Proxmox on top of it? Then Virtual drives on top of that again...?

I'd much appreciate it if someone can describe how to organise this.


Basically
- i Want 1 Laptop, set up to run virtual drives
- With Debian OS (or similar) (to run Postgres Database)
- & FreeNas OS (or similar) (for Local / Cloud Storage)


I'd really appreciate If someone can briefly describe the Order of the system. So i know what path to go down..

Cheers,

Yes, just install a desktop environment and a browser, alternative (if you do not want a desktop environment): use CLI tools

Proxmox VE is a derivate of Debian and supports most of its packages, so just install a desktop environment after setting up Proxmox VE, see https://wiki.debian.org/DesktopEnvironment for some options and the list of task-xy package names available to (somewhat) easily install a desktop environment.

For example, apt install task-xfce-desktop to install the rather lightweight XFCE desktop or task-gnome-desktop for the a bit more heavyweight GNOME desktop.

- With Debian OS (or similar) (to run Postgres Database)
- & FreeNas OS (or similar) (for Local / Cloud Storage)

Those can then be setup afterwards, Debian either in a Container or VM and FreeNAS in a VM (as it's not a Linux distro)
