Proxmox GUI: where is QDevice status?

[MrPete]

I've got a 2-node Proxmox cluster + QDevice (on a tiny raspberri pi ) All is working well.

• pvecm status correctly shows everything
• I can't find anything in the GUI to hint that a QDevice exists or is present

Am I missing something, or is this simply missing from the GUI?

I'm thinking it would be quite helpful for admins to have visible awareness of all Proxmox-related device statuses in the GUI.

Hi,

yeah sorry this is currently not implemented, but you could open a feature request on https://bugzilla.proxmox.com if you want.

more than 3 years, but I still wondering why only 1 node Online but Quorum is okay? just because I don't see the little QDevice

Great .. Just add suggestion tp show QDevice on Datacenter - Summary: Status, Nodes, QDevice.

Thanks for the Bugzilla link. I've started following that one.

Would love that UI update as well. My little QDevice is doing its thing ... just the UI is not interested at all in this beautiful setup.

Nice! How did you make the ASCII art and the display?
Luckfox looks like a small SBC? I assume that's a modified version of their default distro?

Yes, I use the Luckfox Lyra Ultra E with POE.

It is an amazing device that runs 10-15° cooler than my Pi3B+ that I tried before.
It uses <1W idle with the Ubuntu community image supplied also in the official doc.
The Pi3B+ was drawing 3W idle with POE hat (Waveshare) and PI Lite Image installed.

And it is one of the very few devices still affordable running Linux! (>50$ with POE & 8GB EMMC!)

I created a modular mount (→ see on Makerworld) to put it into one of my proxmox nodes using the SilverStone RM23-502-MINI case:



The ASCII art and display is a modified MOTD header file from the SBC (/etc/update-motd.d/00-header) that is loaded on boot and the art you can create yourself or using AI if you are lazy ... or efficient.
