Proxmox as Dev Station

[iiioufmaniii]

Hey,

I want use my computer as server and dev station. I have installed on it Proxmox then some VM and CT.

Now I want to use it for dev station. I have made a new VM, install debian and i3wm on it. I can connect remotly to it from other computer via the proxmox gui.

But now I don't know how to connect locally to i3wm from the server itself.

I have read this article : https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Workstations_with_Proxmox_VE_and_X11
but I prefer to install all my dev system in a VM, it's simpler to backup, restore ...

Do you have an idea ?

Regards,

Either use XDMCP (alternative x2go, ...), forward X11 through ssh or use spice (script-able through API) to connect to.

I already use x2go to remotly connect to my VM from other computer. But if I want to use my server like desktop. I need to install x11 on promox itself and use x2go to connect to my VM. That's what you suggest ?

yes, if you want a gui on proxmox ve itself, you have to install x11 and a desktop environment/window manager (or something similar)
