New Mobile App for Proxmox VE!

Hello together!

Is there also an app planned for iOS?
If so, is there already a release date?

Have you read the previous 5 replies to this thread? ;)
 
Hey! I've just realised that mobile browser version is working on pve8. Finally. It's pointless to have for me, but I'm glad that ability to sign on started working after upgrade. :D
 
It doesn't work if you use TOTP
If the totp window pops up, you can press enter or whatever you want, but you cannot send the code or "enter the code" :)

That's what i mean

Same with the android app, i cannot get past totp.
On all my PVE 8 Servers :)

EDIT:
Aaaaaahhhh, the android app works on all my Proxmox servers, must been an update in last month or so, since i tryed last time :)
Awesome :cool:

The mobile version still not, but it's anyway somewhat not that useful, i find the mobile version a bit too ugly, you cannot do there much, you don't see there much...
Idk, dunno for what there is the need for the mobile version anyway in this state.
I would personally abandon it, if it means that people put their time into that, while they could their time into something more useful.
But that's just an opinion, im not in the right to tell someone what they have todo :)

Cheers :)

With that being said, the question that comes in my mind is: What are the advantages of the/a mobile app in contrast to a (hypothetically) feature rich and good optimized and looking mobile webui?
Or with other words: Why was a mobile app (that is even "only" available on Android (and no, I am not a Apple user)) developed from scratch, instead of (in the current state, heavily) extending and optimizing the, since 2014, already existing mobile webui?
Is the further development and maintenance of the mobile webui so much more involving/complex/complicated than developing and maintaining a mobile app from scratch?
Or are there functions that can not be implemented in a mobile webui at all?

Since I have no clue and only see advantages on a mobile webui over a mobile app, I would love to read (optimally from a Proxmox development point of view) about the pros respectively cons of both.

Of course, everything meant related to PVE/Proxmox products.

Not meant negatively; I am only curious :) (and a bit sad, that the mobile webui seemingly does not get (any?) love anymore :().

You're right, a mobile webui could actually be more useful as the application.

But i meant in the current state. If you compare both right now, the webui lacks a lot compared to the app.
If it would have been the opposite, i would have said, abandon the app :)

But yeah, abandoning the webui is actually not an option either, because of apple, it didn't came into my mind at the moment i wrote the previous post.
 
same here with PVE self signed CA certs on Miui 13 (Android 12).

...resuting in NO noVNC :(
Was this resolved or being looked at? I use a local CA to generate all my internal certificates and everything I connect with browser or app over my VPN, has no issues with my certs, except this. I believe it's possibly caused by the app using it's own trusted CA store it ignores user installed certs, Firefox has this issue on Windows as it doesn't use the cert store of the OS but it's own. Many Java apps are the same. The app either needs to use the OS store or allow for the import of trusted certificates - not checking should be an option of last resort.

BTW, it's a great app, nice job.

How did you get past the TOTP field? I get the same on the Web UI, but I miss the Enter/Submit/OK Button somehow? Pasting or manually entering does not work for me, neither on Chrome nor on Safari...
 
Have read previous iOS posts, but would very much like to help to move through this barrier. Unfortunately Google products are disallowed in some organizations at this point due to their long pattern of bad behavior in various regards and setting long stand precedents herein. I suppose this opens an opportunity for other mobile apps like ProxMobo.app and such, but it would be nice to have an official app vs relying on third parties.
