OpenRGB Container

[mikeyo]

Hello

New to Proxmox so please forigve if question has been answered before... I have come from using UNRAID and the OpenRGB docker container to control my Corsair RAM RGB. What's the best way to deploy OpenRGB in Proxmox so can do the same? Figured that VM is out of the question since I cannot passthu the RGB RAM to the VM.
So, that leaves LXC. Can i use OpenRGB inside an LXC and control the RGB RAM?

I figured it out. I compiled OpenRGB on the proxmox host, ran it using ./openrgb --server
Opened openrgb on a Windows VM, connected to the proxmox host and viola, all RGB devices appeared. Awesome.

Same issue/question here. Could you detail how to compile OpenRGB on Proxmox and how you are able to control the lights of the RAM kits for a Windows VM? Thank you

Can you elaborate? How did you connect the windows vm? Did you need to install openrgb on the windows VM and open openrgb as a client somehow? How did you achieve this?

Thanks for this rtgy.
If others following this get a G++ compiler error, then you may need to also install "build-essential". e.g. 'apt install build-essential'

Can anyone explain how to connect the Windows vm to the proxmox host? I got everything installed but it doesn't connect

This worked for me.
