Teamviewer in proxmox environment?

[emanuelebruno]

Is there anybody that has tried with success to install the last "teamviewer 11" in proxmox?

according to https://www.teamviewer.com/it/help/...Linux-system-with-no-graphical-user-interface now it is possibile to install teamviewer on a linux system with no graphical user interface ... but I met some problems...

is there anybody that can help me?

Please elaborate the problems so we can better help you.

What steps did you follow and what are the problems you met?

Note also that this question may also be a bit better suitable in a Teamviewer forum.

I don't understand the purpose for installing this on proxmox. We have SSH. What more do we really need? If your server has IPMI that's even better.

Actually I have tried this myself today and it does not work. It works fine in a virtualbox VM, but not in a lxc container. I have a feeling it has something to do with some dev access that wine may need to get teamviewer to work, but I can't figure out what it is.

To be clear, this is on a clean install of debian8 using the lcx template, compared to a clean install of the debian8 iso using the same pacakges and tree in virtualbox. Proxmox can install teamviewer successfully, but whatever I do I can not get it to detect a network connection, despite web access, ssh, etc working fine.

Can someone help with this?

It'll work in KVM, try that.

And please explain what you want to accomplish with teamviewer in a proxmox environment.

Hi, I'm asking for what do you need teamviewer? Just use the Webinterface itself or SSH? I mean Proxmox VE has default no graphical user interface running (and on server only boxes it would seldom make sense to do so), further even if it has one running you may redirect the graphical windows to you (see the -Y / -X flags from ssh), so Teamviewer seems just like an (little untrustworthy) overhead to me.

That said, if your not (that) familiar with SSH I would recommend to get to know it, together with working in a shell under Linux, it's a really powerful and useful tool.
Or just use the Webinterface from Proxmox, there is also the possibility to open a shell window on the server.

That said, if you do not reach teamviewer from outside the network then its probably a network problem, ensure no Firewall is blocking the connection from you through internet and server and from the server to the internet (AFAIK, teamviewer uses port 80 and 443)

You do not understand how this works. PVE is accessible from a webpage (pve_ip:8006 or something similar) and NOT using a GUI which Teamviewer will bind to. In other words, it has no desktop manager and so on like a standard linux desktop OS.

Its like trying to install teamviewer on a headless server with no GUI. Why not use the CLI with SSH ???

If you want to access PVE's webUI from outside of your network, you need to configure your router to forward traffic from outside (WAN) to the local IP of PVE and its port (8006). I however, STRONGLY advise against this due to security reasons.

By the way, are you the OP of this thread? The initial post dates from 2015 and was by user "emanuelbruno" while the reply from yesterday is from user "netaddiction".. If you're the same user, please do not resurrect old threads.. This is not good forum "etiquette".
