[SOLVED] noVNC - default scaling mode

[andreisrr]

Is there a way to configure the PROXMOX-VE web interface such that any time one starts a noVNC console with a virtual machine such that it opens as separate browser window, the default scaling mode = local scaling ?

I find it very tedious to have to change that manually every time.

Hi,

Probably by tweaking Proxmox’s JavaScript files.
The main idea is to edit the noVNC console script on the host and change its built‑in default from auto to local.
I never test it but it should works.

That would be quite the hack (I'm not a JS expert).

Maybe folks at Proxmox see this and change the default or add an option.

Hi,

you can change it in the web UI by clicking on your username at the top right -> My Settings.
There's an option for setting the default scaling mode under noVNC Settings.

Many many thanks. So it'a a per-user setting, not a system option. But it is available in the UI, which is fantastic. Thank you!!!
